Even though it doesn't look like Christmas yet in Colon, it sure is feeling like Christmas! Mace was almost in tears the other morning when she woke up and noticed we didn't get snow after I told her we might the night before. She said we can't have Christmas without snow. It's gotta make it down here sometime soon! I love snow especially since my days consist of usually staying at home with the girls or just walking somewhere in town so I don't mind if the roads are bad and Jason only has to drive 1 mile to work.
Today Santa came to town and boy were my girls excited. Mace knew exactly what she was going to tell him she wanted and couldn't wait. She wanted to wear red to match Santa's suit even. Kels kept saying, "Me...ho ho....lap!" So off we went.....and this is how it turned out :)
As soon as we entered the gym where Santa was both girls were clenched to Jason and I. They both were crying as we neared him so Jason and I got in on the pictures as well. Mace did tell Santa that she wants a princess castle and Kelsey told him that she wants a dress. He gave them a candy cane and they both said thank you and we were out of there :)
Kelsey's words from the day, "Ho ho me candy...lap cried"
Macey is concerned she forgot to tell Santa that she wanted slippers as well....we'll see if she gets some!
I took the girls' pictures a few times this week to make our Christmas card from and here are some I am not using so you get to see them :)
With Jason working a lot longer hours due to basketball season, we need more fillers in the day to keep us busy so we baked sugar cookies the other night. Mace is a baking pro. She must get it from her Aunt Brenda because I am not really a baker. I didn't even have to help her, she knew how to put the flour down, roll it, cut them out and definitely eat them! Kels didn't have near as much interest but she tried for awhile and did pretty well.
I can see how Christmas will get more fun every year with the girls getting older. Macey is so excited about it all, Christmas music, movies, books, asking about baby Jesus and quite worried that he was born in a barn, baking, lights, shopping, Santa, and wrapping presents. Kels will point out everything around the house that has to do with Christmas and say "Miss miss" and is determined to get a dress so she can "dance!"
I just love Christmas time!

The Santa picture is priceless!!
Hah! We've never taken the kids to see Santa, but judging by their reactions to Sinter Klaas downtown last night, I'm guessing our photo would be much like yours. I love Kelsey's "Miss Miss," and I'm with you; the Christmas activities get more and more fun each year as the kids get into it! Eden is constantly begging me to put on "Fuleece Mommy-Dod" so she can dance, and the both of them go wild over Christmas lights, saying "There's Christmas!"
That was a scary looking Santa !
GREAT blog Jen...definately worth the wait...:)
Loved all the pictures...I always like to see how the kids are dressed, scarfs, dresses, boots, you name it, those kids are stylin...
I love the words Kels says and it is too precious that Mace is worried about Jesus being born in a barn..so wonderful you are teaching them the most important reason for Christmas...but of course I knew you would..
LOVE the pictures that you are not using for cards....

PS...
what is it with these Princess Castles???
I know that Annabelle wants one too...do they have dolls and other stuff that goes with them?
Love the santa picture..if we make it to see santa this year, I would assume our picture would be the same..hahaha
What a happy, cheerful blog, which is just what Aunt Jean needed! The little ones are darling, precious, and rightfully scared of Santa - he looks a bit intimidating! What a fun time in your lives, when Christmas is full of surprises and mystery and delight. Can't wait to see all of you!
Ok , your girls are perfect...you take really good pictures, can not wait to go and see santa with the boys, I think both of them are ready with their lists...
