Ho Ho Ho...

This has been a busy season for our family. We have been all over the place celebrating with friends and family, faculty parties, ward Christmas party and it's still not over. I love this time of year but it does come with lots of stress and over eating. I've lost all self control and I am eating every sweet treat I come in contact with. Only 5 more days and then I can start weening myself off the sweet stuff. This weekend we partied with some family friends. It was a good ole fashion celebration complete with prime rib and pictionary. The next day we took the kids to the zoo to have Breakfast with Santa. Olivia has really warmed up to Santa this year and is not shy in his presence any longer. She jumped right onto his lap and listed the many things she wants for Christmas. On her list is a barbie house. I'm not sure where she got this idea because she only owns one barbie and she doesn't even play with it. When Sophie's turn came she just sat on Santas lap and nodded every time he asked her a question. At least she didn't cry. After a delicious breakfast buffet we bundled up and ventured outside to visit the penguins. We spent most of our time in the indoor exhibits since it was only about 20 degrees outside. Christmas day is fast approaching and I can't wait for it to be here. I'm like a child myself...the anticipation is killing me.
