A first for the Adams Kiddos...

For the 1st time, umm, ever, all three kiddos took a photo with Santa!  Pinch me - I must be dreaming!!!  What a difference a year makes!

Legacy Village, December 4, 2011

No one cried! No one refused to get close to the big man in red!  In fact, all three even took the time to put in their one request to Santa - an ipod touch.  Santa wanted to know why Lincoln wasn't requesting Lincoln Logs, and then laughed his jolly laugh.  (Apparently Santa is quite the jokester!) 

We are still here... I promise!

Yes, another month has come and gone and well, life isn't easing up, when it comes to responsibilities and finding more time in the days.  However, the routine has settled into place slightly and we have "become used to" the feeling of barely keeping up.  LOL  


Tonight we shared one of the season's priceless joys - Santa stopped by for a quick visit on his firetruck!  Oh the excitement!  (I had forgotten about this big night, until the neighbor across the street made mention.  Luckily, we still had 15 minutes to ready ourselves and head out to the end of the driveway!)  This year Santa delivered each kid a battery operated toothbrush!  They were so excited to decorate their brush and put the new "toy" to use!  Thank you Santa for spreading your jolliness and reminding us that Christmas is a mere 12 days away!

Waiting as the firetruck gets closer

Santa has arrived!

Merry Christmas!

Showing off what Santa delivered ... hmmm.... what could it be?

Beyond thrilled to get a battery operated toothbrush!  (Who ever said gifts had to be over the top?)

Pure joy!

Yes, even if you choose to make goofy faces, I will post them on the blog! (Check out the elf like ear!  LOL  This photo has such potential in the puberty stricken years!)
