Addie & Santa

I took Addie to see Santa for the first time on Friday. She actually did pretty well. There were only a couple of families in line ahead of us, but she got to see them interact with the big guy. As we got closer she sort of clinged to me, but when we got to Santa she was willing to sit in his lap. She told him that she wanted a doll for Christmas. I don't think she understands Christmas and present quite yet, but she loves the Christmas lights and decorations. Addison also told Santa what Nathan wanted for Christmas. Nathan stopped being able to sit on Santa's lap after he came down with RSV a few years ago. However, we have no doubt that Santa knows what a good little boy Nathan has been.

I finally have a few minutes to post an update. Nathan has been sick...AGAIN! He had finally gone back to school on the 1st (after missing three weeks) only to get sick on the 4th and the poor guy has been out since. He is finally getting better - we think this last round may have been RSV. Nathan has had it several times over the past eight years and each time it hits him pretty hard because of all of his respiratory issues. Thankfully, (barely) we were able to keep him out of the hospital. I am hoping he will be back in school Wed. and that he won't pick something else up:-)

So we have pretty much been shut in doors the past few weeks. Nathan was nice enough to share his "cold" with Addie and she was sick last week as well. She too is on the mend. We have finally got our lights up, but now we are scrambling with Christmas presents.

Here are a few random pics from the past few weeks.
