Davis was TERRIFIED of Santa this year. Understandably, the jolly old soul is a stranger in a massive red suit and huge white beard. I don't think Davis has ever seen someone with a beard before! We tried twice, once with Santa at the mall (those teary-eyed pictures turned out not-so-well, but we ordered the package anyways) and again with my dad as Santa. I was hoping that a familiar voice would help, but he was still timid...as you can tell by the picture!
All of the kids took their turn sitting on Santa's lap and receiving one gift! Davis eventually warmed up to the idea and graciously took his new laptop! As you can also tell by the picture, my son had a slight black eye over the holidays and a nice wallop on his forehead. I'm still getting used to the "normal" bumps and bruises little boys are supposed to get. Do little girls get these too?
Christmas eve and morning were spent in Austin with the Francese side of the family. We all went to mass together (of course we didn't sit together, the crowds were crazy and apparently getting there an hour early didn't help). Dinner that night was delizioso! My mom made stuffed flounder and perogies! Preceded my massive amounts of antipasti and followed by Christmas cookies galore!
Christmas Morning!
Note most of the ornaments are NOT at the bottom of the tree!
We spent the weekend before Christmas with the Seger's (Forrest's mom's side) at the ranch and also spent New Year's weekend out there with the Thompson's, but somehow we managed to forget our camera both times! Davis absolutely craves being outside, so a ranch is just the ticket for him. He basically runs around picking up sticks, throwing rocks, and making his presence known with his "manly" grunts. Such a boy!
