I say Happy Thanksgiving, but we've already been to see Santa! I thought it be best to get that trip over with before Thanksgiving. I didn't know what to expect from the girls. I wasn't sure if they would respond well to him or not. They did ok. No huge smiles. More like a deer caught in the headlights kind of thing. But the pic turned out cute. I have to comment on St. Nick though. We went to the one at Northwoods, and he was not that friendly! He almost seemed irritated w/ us. I don't know, maybe I had too many expectations for their first Santa Claus visit. Those of you who know me well, know I LOVE Christmas and Santa and all that. So I have been so excited to see them sit on his lap. Now I am realistic an didn't expect them to be all in love w/ him, but I did expect him to be a bit nicer to the girls. He was just grouchy. And now it costs to see Santa?? We paid $20 to have the girls sit on his lap and get 8 pictures. I asked if we had to buy the pics, and she said it was recommended. Well what do you say to that??? So we bought them. I did take a couple of my own as well. OK, enough complaining!
The girls are changing all the time! Natalie was our wild child and has really seemed to calm down. She sits up really well, and that's all she seems to want to do.... sit. If she falls backwards while sitting, she just lays there and watches TV. That is so different than how she used to be. Delanie is all over the place. If you lay her on her back she immediately flips over and then scoots all over the place. She is sooo close to crawling. Our house is not ready for that! They are sleeping better these days. I usually get one full night of sleep, then the next night someone wakes up. At least they are giving me some sort of a break :)
OK, that's all for now. Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!
