Ho! Ho! Ho!

There have been lots of visits with Santa lately.  It's funny, but even Houston knows that some Santas aren't so "real" and chooses not to visit with them.  He did melt my heart with one particular visit with a jolly old elf lately. Here are some of our recent visits.....
Santa made a visit to the girls' school for their Christmas party.  Hollyn was truly tickled by the experience!

This picture melts my heart.  Not sure who the precious child is in Santa's lap, but sweet little Houston waited anxiously to sit in Santa's lap.  We went to a pajama party at the McWane Center with dear friends and had a blast.  Houston sat through the entire "Polar Express" movie, which is all but a miracle,  and then got soooo excited about seeing Santa in person.  He could hardly wait for his turn.  

and then it finally came....

no hesitation from this big boy who had already snuck into several other families' Santa pics!

His sweet sisters who had already whispered in Santa's ear 3 times let little brother have some time with him alone.  It was very gracious of them.

Houston told Santa he would like a bell because he was so proud of the bell he had received after the movie.

Sisters joined in on the fun and had a little visit as well.

We also had a "fancy" visit with Santa according to the girls.  We went to dinner at The Club and had a swinging good time!  The girls were aware that this wasn't the real Santa and Houston knew as well since he didn't waste his time visiting or sitting in his lap.  He got close enough to take a good look, but that was enough for him.  

The girls shared some love!
After the kids cut a rug with the band we enjoyed a delicious "fancy" meal!  Our friends Kate & Hudson joined us for our dinner party.  We've been making lots of treats lately so we'll share that soon!
