For you Santa

So here is Hunter's note to Santa sweet and to the point. Here they are waiting to go out and see the tree the next morning. Yuck, sorry bad lighting in those pictures. This year was so cool with Hunter we really spent a lot of time in Dec. filling it with Christmas activites.We went to the temple lights, playing in snow, visiting Santa, making S'Mores, reading Christmas stories, watching every Christmas movie, baking all kinds of goodies and so forth. Hunter was so excited about Santa this year and made a very sweet list for him of things he hoped to get which mostly consisted of Legos. About the last six months he has wanted nothing but to play Legos and this year he was hoping to get some Lego Agents. The set consists of six "missions" and so for Christmas he recieved Mission #1 and #2. Both of which have led to much secret agent play and "bad guy" evading. I will post on this most recent stage with him later. Including the details on the backpack that he never takes off.Hunter had a hard time settling in on Christmas Eve and kept thinking that every noise he heard was surely Santa on the roof, and he was bound and determined to catch him as he came down the chimney. After much convincing that Santa would only come once he was sleeping he finally gave up the fight. When they woke up the next morning they ran out to the tree and Avery excited exclaimed, "WALL-E mommy!" She was so excited about her pillow she carried it around all morning. Aren't they CUTE??She like all of her baby stuff, but her actual favorite thing about Christmas morning was the shoes for her baby doll and the fact that mom let her eat a candy cane for breakfast!! It was really fun to be with my mom and the girls this Christmas and do some of the traditions that we grew up doing. Hunter and Avery love Grandma sooooo much and have so much fun getting to go to her house and spend time with her. It is hard to live what feels like so far away sometimes but we enjoy every minute of our time with her.One such things was reading the "spider story" it is a very sweet Christmas story that we always read when we were little girls and this year my kids got to read it and we got to make a little spider for our own family. There is a cute but little blurry shot of Hunter's hand putting it on the tree. We had a great Christmas and are ready for a great new year!!!!
