The Magic of Christmas

It has been a busy and exciting month...
I have pictures that I will post before the new year.

There has been a bit of angst in our house lately over good list vs. bad list. Dustind has had a challenging SK year in that he has really had to think hard about the difference between a good decision and a bad decision. The other night he told me that he knows he made two bad decisions this school year and reminded me what they were (whew... at least that one stuck with him!) He was very concerned that Santa would put him on the bad list because of these decisions.

Coincidentally... that night he got a 'video message' from Santa assuring him that he was on the good list.

This evening Dustind told me that "When Santa puts your name on the good list he uses permanent marker so he can't take you off unless he rips your name out completely."

He is now feeling better that he will wake to gifts on Christmas morning!!!

Maddy has learned a few new words:
-"Santa"
- "Ho. Ho. Ho"
- "No biting"

What a wonderful and magical time of year - we hope that all of our friends are able to enjoy the pure joy of Christmas through the eyes of a child this Christmas. Truly that is the best present of all for me this year!!!
