Santa Baby



This has been such a fun Christmas season. The girls are at perfect ages for it and get really excited about every little thing. I thought I would document a few little things that will forget but don't want to.

  • Kyla watched White Christmas about a dozen times. This is one of my all time favorite movies and I knew she would love it too. The best part, she knows almost all the words to Betty Davis and Rosemary Clooney's (Betty and Judy) Sisters song. It's pretty cute.
  • When you ask them what they want for Christmas this year from Santa it's only one thing: "A jump rope." Easy girls to please. Why? Because in Arizona Tyler "taught" them how. We'll see if they are as skilled at jump rope as they are at skateboarding.
  • They are obsessed with who is on the "naughty list" and who is on the "nice list."
  • Kyla informed me that she really likes Charlie Brown Christmas but wanted me to know that they say "stupid" in that show and she knows we aren't supposed to say that.
  • Favorite Christmas games to play: 1.) Wrap up toys we already have in blankets and pretend to give each other gifts. 2.) Mary and Jesus. This consists of wearing a blanket over your head and holding a doll. Usually there is a fight over who should be Mary.
  • And lastly, when Heidi was a tiny baby the only way she would stop crying in the car was if we played the song "Santa Baby" and changed the words to "Heidi Baby." We even kept the CD in the car for the entire year. Well, this year she wants NONE of it. "I am not a baby anymore!!! I'm Heidi big girl!"

I agree, such a fun time with this age. Tate has no idea, obviously! But Coleson is having so much fun this year, I love it!

I love that picture of Heidi at the end!
Addison picked up Derek's phone today and pretended to talk on it - she said, "Heidi? Kyla?" over and over! She didn't even know I was watching her, it was so cute.
