The Pink Pig

We finally went to Macy's last weekend to ride the famous Pink Pig. The girls loved it, but Wade and I had such a hard time fitting into the cars that we might not make this a "holiday tradition".

Breakfast With Santa

This morning, Santa Claus came to visit Emma's preschool and have breakfast with the kids. Emma told me on the way to school that she was only going to ask for a drum set today when she got to sit on Santa's lap, since she'd already given him a rather lengthy list last weekend when we visited him at the mall.

Our Star Student

At the end of every month, Emma's preschool teacher sends home a checklist of skills to keep us posted on her progress. She has gotten absolutely wonderful reports each month, and we wanted to show them off!
(These scans are small, but if you click on each report a larger version will open.)

Emma's Christmas List

Emma wrote out her Christmas list for Santa last weekend and I wanted to share it. And just in case the scan is too small, the outside reads:
Santa Claus
I love you

and the inside reads:
Hannah (Anything Hannah Montana - she is HUGE in our house these days.)
Drum (This is the third Christmas that Emma has asked for a drum set. She also reminded us on her third and fourth birthday that Santa did not bring her a drum set the previous Christmases so she needs one for her birthday. It's a pretty safe bet she'll be asking for a drum set for her fifth birthday.)
Doll (Emma wants a Baby Alive doll. Apparently she does not remember that Santa brought her a Baby Alive doll last Christmas. She fed it green stuff, it pooped the green stuff, and she was absolutely horrified. This year, we hope Santa brings her a doll WITHOUT bowels.)
Puppy (Not another real one, thank goodness, but a stuffed one.)
Cradle (Because she sat in the one she has now and broke it.)
Eating table (I don't know what is wrong with our kitchen table other than it is not directly in front of the television.)
