Well, today Abby came up with her own Christmas tradition to add to the mix. As expected, we have been saying "Merry Christmas" to everyone and this morning Abby said, "Harry Christmas!" to a friend as she was leaving. We have to get Christmas Steve and Harry Christmas together. They really should meet.
I know it has been quite a while since my last post. (We've been busy, what can I say?) Here are a handful of photos to catch you up on our holiday-related activities over the last few weeks.
Santa and Mrs. Claus came to Saratoga in a trolley. The girls caught up with Mrs. Claus on her way off the trolley.
Santa sees his subjects in a small hut along the main street in town. When it was our turn, Mira went right in with her carefully crafted letter.
Abby, however, had no intention of going into a confined space with that strange man in the flamboyant red outfit. She opted to wait outside with Daddy.
A few days later we headed to the tree farm. Mira enjoyed a cup of hot cocoa after our long trek across the parking lot to pick out a tree from the "pre-cut" barn (we whimped out after arriving and realizing how cold 17 degrees really feels).
Then we hauled our tree out and headed home to gussy her up with some sliver and gold bling!
