"Momma, I am not doing Santa this year"

As we walked through Walmart, Alex proclaimed his desires to purchase every thing in sight. I explained to him that Santa was coming soon and if I purchased this items now, there would be no need for him to come bring presents Christmas morning. To which Alex exclaimed "Momma, I am just not going to do Santa this year". 3 years old and already quite the negotiator and problem solver, Lord help me in 13 years!

Leo, well, he would just prefer Santa not come. Even the meer mention of Santa's name now evokes the above displayed reaction!

Our Family Beach pics! As the photographer memorialized 50 years, 4 generations, family of 23, I looked at Dad and said "Did you ever imagine this 50 years ago?" and he said "Never in a million years, could I have dreamt this".

Our first family vacation as a family of 4!

Well we did it! We took a family vacation to Florida with a 3 year old and 1 year old! Call us crazy! An 11 hour drive actually took 14 hours with the "Mommy, I have to go potty!" and the "Mommy, I am hungry". But once we got there, it was truly paradise! What 3 year old do you know gets to not only lay on the beach for 8 days, but fly in a hellicopter, shake hands with a dolphin and ride on an air boat finding alligators! Lets not even mention all Leo did! We spent the week with all 25 family members and had a blast. It was so hard to come back to reality.
