Maybe NOT! Lol! You can sort of see Nic off to the right, Grandma trying to get her a little closer. heh


In her defense, she was getting sick yesterday. Comatose on the couch today


Maddy won! At least we got her in the picture! heh

We don't do the santa hype.

He does however really look forward to visits from Granny, that's way better than Santa. Instead of eating the cookies, Granny bakes them and shares.

Hey Ah-Schoo, play any fantasy games online? How about your kids?

I played AC. I know you're referencing the ACf thread. You may have missed my serious replies in that one. Feel free to go there and look for them, I'm not really interested in bringing that crap here.

Kiddo is too young for online stuff, and I'm hoping he avoids that for a while. He was drawing in photoshop today though. He figured out how to change the brush size, shape and choose colours. Not bad for 2. he just needs to get some fine control of the mouse and he's set.

My only beef on that thread, and this one, is not letting kids do Santa. 1/2 the world lives in fantasy now. Why can't kids?

We've mysteriously bumped into Santa twice this month. My kids have told him their wants each time, and amazingly their wants have been the same both times. We're doing letters tonight to mail off Monday!


Visit1 we had a tag along friend of my oldest, visit2 was at my work party last night.


As for the Santa issue. I believed up until I was about 11( watched momma wrap the presents for 2 years before I finally got the nerve to ask). Believing made Christmas all the more magical to me. There is no way that I would deny my kids that if they choose to believe it. But when it comes time, I will be honest with them. My oldest found out about 2 years ago. Santa, Toothfairy, Easter Bunny...she came to me and asked how I could be all of them at the same time. So I told her the truth. She was mad at first that they didn't really exist and wondered why I carried them on as real. I asked her how she felt before she started doubting in their existence, and she just smiled. then we talked about not telling bubba and sister, how we don't wanna take that feeling away from them.
