Christmas is coming and mommy is spending lots of extra time to make sure things are magical! The first weekend of December kicked it off with a bang when we got to have breakfast with Santa and get our Christmas tree! The best part about it was that it had snowed the night before so we got to have a little romp in the snow too! Breakfast with Santa was awesome, just like last year. How Rogue River can convince Santa to come all the way down here I will never know but we feel really special that he does. Maddox and I got to snuggle up on his lap and take plenty of time to chat with him... I told him that I wanted a Baby Alive Newborn and we even took him some cookies that Nonna made. After breakfast we ran home, changed into our snow clothes and headed up the mountain to get a tree. It wasn't long before we hit the snow!
Once again Mommy, Nonna, and I stuck with our tradition and went to see the Nutcracker Ballet. Mommy decided to mix it up this year and got tickets to the production in Grants Pass. I don't think I enjoyed it quite as much as I do the one we have seen before but it was a nice change and they did really have some beautiful dancers.
Maddox:
Christmas season is here and I ask every day if it's truly Christmas. I don't quite understand why every one keeps saying that it's Christmas but I don't get to open any presents. I have been a really good boy and even though there are gifts under the tree I haven't touched a single one! Sparkle came back the morning after Thanksgiving and has been watching us really closely so that may have something to do with it but really I think I'm just being a super good boy.
Sissy told you all about breakfast with Santa. We had a really fun time and ate lots of pancakes but my favorite part of that day was the trip up to the snow. We are lucky enough that when it snows up in the foothills it only takes us a few minutes to drive up the hill for a little sledding fun. And boy, did we have fun! We spotted trees all the way up the hill and then stopped for a good ol' fashioned snowball fight! Sissy and I chased each other; and mommy and daddy; all over the place with little snow balls.... and we giggled and giggled and giggled! There wasn't a ton of snow but there was enough for us to use our sleds and have some fun. On the way home mommy picked a great tree and we all went home to help decorate it.
