12 days of christmas

UMMMMM....there is too much freaking snow!!!!

after about a week of missing school from all the snow days and freezing rain, 
i had had enough of the snow. but i started to panic and feel bad for the kids , so i got them 
some snow clothes ( which i have never had to buy in portland before) and let them at it. 
they had a blast even though there was about 2 inches of ice on top of the snow. 
Jason read the christmas carol each night before bed. even Lucille liked it. what is funner than cuddling up to daddy?
This is the part where Santa says " now, what would you like for christmas little ruby?" and ruby replies..." well, i want a fake horse with a fake carrot" and then santa says---"OHHH, well, you ARE on my good list this year----so , that is a good sign that youll get what you want" and 
then afterwards i tell her...." well, santa only chooses the things on your list that he thinks you will LOVE........i dont think that a fake pony is one of those.
Ezra asks for a race track. but really i think he was to shy to say anything to the bearded stranger in red.

Haha, at least she doesnt want a REAL pony with a REAL carrot.... well, maybe the real carrot would be okay. :-)

That's impressive that Ezra didn't cry. They're all shy when it comes to Santa. They're thinking, 'Who is this freaky old guy with a white beard? And why does my mom want to pass me off to him so bad?' It makes sense that kids are scared of santa. It's just too bad it always ruins our pictures.
And PS - I LOVE the explanation to Rubes about Santa's list - sounds about what I had to tell Ben about his SPIKE the ULTRADINOSAUR, (it costs $140)... Glad you had a good C-mas! We're SO excited to come see you guys in a few days. Do we need to bring snow gear? please tell me no. I'm trying to get away from this crap!

I love that you've never had to buy winter clothes. i never have to worry about that too much either. But for some reason, I would've thought it snowed a lot there. Anyway, kind of fun to have snow once a year or something...but not always!!!
