Jolly Old St. Nicholas

 

 

So we practiced before we left to go see Santa...

Mommy (aka "Santa"): "Come sit on my lap, Greta, and tell me what you want for Christmas."

Greta: "I want a sticker, and a sucker, and a toy."

Mommy (aka "Santa"):  "That sounds good!  Have you been a good girl this year and did you listen to your Mommy and Daddy?"

Greta:  "Uh huh!"

 

The actual scenario...

Santa:  "What would you like for Christmas, Greta?"

Greta: smiles

Santa:  "Would you like a monster truck?"

Greta: "Uh huh."

Santa:  "Would you like a BB gun?"

Greta:  "Uh huh."

Santa:  "Would you like an elephant?"

Greta:  "Uh huh."

 

I'm pretty proud of our little munchin for sitting on Santa's lap.  She sure was excited to go see Santa, but was a little disappointed his reindeer weren't there.

Merry Christmas (Part 1)

We celebrated family Christmas #1 with the Portners and Gramma and Grampa Gillespie last weekend at our house.  We had lots of fun opening presents, eating, and laughing (the 3 stooges is always a classic :))

 

Let It Snow!

We had a nice Friday a couple weeks ago, so Greta and Maggie played in the snow.  It's crazy how fast you can zip down the slide when it's a little snowy.  G also made her first snow angels and took Maggie for a little sled ride.

 

First "Momie"

Greta attended her first movie, "A Dolphin Tale" at Perham's delightful Comet theater.  She sat quietly for the first 45 minutes eating her "popporn" and drinking her water, but then thought it was time to go.
