After ballet, we headed to the North Star Mall with Miss Wendy, Nessa and MacKaye to see Santa. Sophie was SO excited to see Santa - couldn't contain herself. Emma told him exactly what she wanted (a play kitchen and a rock star microphone)...Soph just bonded with him - she'd have sat on his lap all day if she could've - and I think he would've let her. Santa promised Emma that he'd bring daddy an extra special Christmas present.

Our Mac girl...
When we got home, the girls decided to create a "beach" on the front lawn (definitely an advantage of being in San Antonio - no warm beaches in the Northeast in December!) We also got our deer up (as well as our little lighted trees).
After some pizza, some books and some cuddles, the little ones went to bed without any resistance and the party began for the big girls...milk shakes, movies (the Christmas classics - Frosty the Snowman, Rudolf and Santa Claus is Coming to Town)...
Mmmmm.....good....
Friday, December 11
Today was Green Day at school...Sophie showed her Philadelphia spirit wearing her Eagles cheerleading outfit. The best was hearing her say "Go Eagles" in her sweet little lilt. I picked the girls up from school early so we could go to the doctors (Flu shots!) and got Emma a little trim for the holidays. When we got home, a package was waiting for Emma from the North Pole (courtesy of Grammy and Gumpa!) - it was the Elf on the Shelf. Emma is so excited about the Elf. Can't wait to see where he pops up this week!

WE LOVE YOU DADDY!
