Christmas is Coming...

And we are all so excited! The tree is up, and the presents are (as always) piling up under it. While we were looking forward to this being our first Christmas in our new home - apparently the world had different ideas. Now we are just keeping our fingers crossed that we will just close on this house. Ever. Buying a house has been a long, drawn out, frustrating experience. People keep telling us that it is like this for everyone, and while that may be the case, that doesn't make me feel any better. However, we are lucky that we have the opportunity to be in the living situation that we are in, and I know that my parents are thrilled to have us here for Christmas.

I got to take the girls to see Santa yesterday. Jordan was stoked to see him. Of course, Madison followed her lead - even though she really doesn't understand what is going on.



I loved that picture of them. My mom took it while I was just off to the side in case Madison freaked out. For anyone who knows Madison, they know that she is not fond of strangers. Going into this experience I anticipated the picture would be Jordan in Santa's lap, and me holding Madison next to them. However, as you can see, that wasn't the case. Madison wouldn't sit in his lap, but she sat next to him. It looks like a win to me!



This one was another one of my favorites, because Madison looks like she is in awe. So precious. We have the two cutest little girls. :)
