 i loved this note that the kids (together) came up with for santa when they left him this treat.


" Thanks for the presents and we all hope you have a good night.  Oh yeah, and we hope you enjoy the cookies and milk." 


it was too cute watching them huddle at the kitchen counter coming up with something "good" to say. ha.


For santa 


wishing all my blog readers a wonderful new year.  i sure am looking forward to one. :)

  5. Hi Amy! Happy New Year to you! I love all your photos. Especially that middle one with the mountain of wrapping paper in the background. wow, you guys sure must of had a wonderful Christmas with all those packages.
    And happy birthday to your daughter. I know what you mean about 13. My son turned 13 last fall. It's still hard to get used to. They just grow up so quickly.
