HO HO # 5

 
We attended a Children's Christmas Party lunch with Santa & Laney chatted with Santa about her name, her age & her love of instruments. We got some nice family photos also but gotta save those for another day :)

HO HO # 4


Laney's playgroup/school had a little field trip to see Santa. Even though Laney had already gone to this same place with Daddy and Mommy a week earlier she wanted to go with Miss Debbie and her friends from playschool. SOOOOO here are a few shots from Santa visit # 4. Ohhhh it was cold. Laney answered Santa's question of what he should bring to her with "tools please, same as daddy". Crazy to say we still have 1 more Santa visit planned so stay tuned for HO HO # 5 (# 5 and the final HO HO visit before the big Christmas Day).

HO HO # 3


HO HO visit # 3!  I got to have the pleasure of meeting 2 dear friends and their little angels.  We dressed the 3 girls in the same dresses and shoes (thank you J).  Oh it was precious.  We got asked throughout the day if they were triplets!  Our response over and over no just good friends.  I got a tug in my heart and a tear in my eye as I thought about it.  GOOD FRIENDS.  It was a great day with good friends.  The girls road a choo choo train, had a visit with Santa, rode the carousel, had lunch and played at the play center.  A special day.
Laney sat on Santa's lap and when he asked her what she would like for Christmas she said "umbrella" (mind you it was raining on this day).  Stay tuned we have many more different Santa visits planned.  Ho Ho # 4 post soon.

HO HO # 1


This was Ho Ho # 1 of 2010
While waiting in line Laney said "no thank you, Laney not sit on Ho Ho's lap". When we got up there she saw the kids before her get a toy from Santa after they sat on his lap. She turned to us and said "Laney sit on Ho Ho's lap PLEASE"! So she walked in and said "Hello Ho Ho" and sat on his lap when he asked her what she would like for Christmas she said "A fishing pole" he said a fishing pole? She looked at him and said Laney take a bath with fishing pole (with a look like Santa I have to explain this to you, really)?? Cracked us all up. He said would you like anything else. She said a "a piano, a blue piano". After we left Santa we saw Mrs. Claus and now she won't stop talking about how there was a "Lady Ho Ho". We saw Reindeer which she said with excitement "I see a Moose, I see a Moose". Oh the joy of the 1st Santa visit of the season. Stay tuned we have many more different Santa visits planned. Ho Ho as Laney calls him # 2 post soon.

Sale

Laney got very excited when we found a rice milk sale and we loaded the cart and later the refrigerator with rice milk.  Now every store, every errand, every day she says "rice milk sale today momma please".
I replied today after days of this ....."Laney My Sweet Love.... Momma can only fit 12 rice milks in the fridge at a time - slow down banana". Cracking me up everyday in every way!
