We saw Santa Claus at a Christmas party last night. Both kids were so excited while waiting in line to sit on his lap. When it was our turn, Jared marched right up and sat down. Santa said, "What would you like for Christmas?" and Jared promptly said, "CANDY!" Santa said, "Do you want anything else for Christmas?" Jared, "CANDY!" Then he gave Santa a big hug, took the offered candy cane, jumped off Santa's lap, and started eating.



At that point, Megan realized that it was her turn, and she panicked. She refused to sit on Santa's lap, refused to talk to him. She took her candy cane and ran off.



Today, she decided that she had better write Santa a letter since she didn't tell him what she wanted for Christmas.


"Dear Santa,

I want a heart (a stuffed one to sleep with that she saw at the store), two ponies and clothes (for her American Girl doll, Felicity), and a statue of Jesus.

Love Megan"

Merry Christmas!

I can't believe it! I am such a slacker. Time has simply run away from me. It's been too long since I've updated this blog. Here are some recent pictures of the kids.

This is Jared playing in the rain a few weeks ago. He was soaked from head to toe, but he had a blast.



These are pictures of Megan at the park the other day. I can't believe how quickly she is growing up! It's crazy how fast they change!


I'll be taking some Christmas pictures in the next day or two, so watch for them!
