Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Bruce Springsteen



How do you get here?
How long does it take?
Do you travel through magic tunnels?
Where are the reindeer?
What do you do on your day off?
What kind of cookies do you like?
Which list am I on?
Do you really get to everyone houses by magic?

... and it went on and on and on....
(well, at least in the car.) 
As soon as they got up to Santa they forgot everything they wanted to say to him. I had to remind Sam and right before we left had another opportunity to speak with him.

Sorry for these dodgy photos. The Santa ladies did not want me to take my own photo and told me I could only stand in a certain spot. With a little line behind me, I was rushing the camera and not choosing the best settings. Sorry. ;)


The kids both had their holiday parties at school. Beth's consisted of lots of fun with friends and yummy treats. Sam's was the "Polar Express" theme and he got to wear his pajamas to school.

KA, Molly, and Colin came to Beth's party. I snapped a picture of the girls together. While I was looking at this photo tonight, my mind got to wondering if this is what Kristin and I would have looked like together when we were little. Kristin has said before about how she sometimes wishes that we all knew each other before kids, husbands, and all responsibilities, ect. 
In school age days.
People come and go in our lives. Everyone has a purpose for being there at a particular time and place. Beth and Molly have been friends since Beth's birth. I hope they remain friends for a long, long, long , long time.

So I guess this could have been KA and I. Although I don't think I would have known, instinctively, how to strike a pose like my little diva.

How dare they tell you not to take photographs lol. I always find a way to take pictures even when I am not supose to. Jaylin loves the scrapbooks I make him so I take pictures of all his "events". Its amazing to me that I look at my closest friends and wonder what it would be like if we knew each other when we were younger.

I must say I think this could have been us, although you may not have rocked the jazz hand like Miss B. And if we were friends as kids, I would have let you be the mommy sometimes:) KA

I love the pic of Santa looking at Sam. I only wish I knew what they were talking about! Great photos, much btter than the polaroids that the Santa ladies would have taken.
