Our MOST Favorite Santa...
YES! Sunday we got to visit with our most favorite Santa. He is so special to us because we have had Laela's picture with him every year...

2010
This year was even GREATER because we have two kiddos to share with him.


Laela was literally running circles around the house, she was so excited to go see Santa. On the way, we had a discussion about what the reindeer would be doing while Santa was taking pictures with her. We get to the Eung's house and Laela hides behind our legs. She does not even want to be within 5 feet of the Big Jolly Guy. Then, we talked her closer and closer. As you can see, she even let me hold her close to Santa. Laela really wanted to let him know what she wanted, so she got a little closer to share with him that she would really like two Dora dolls. :)
Then, we finally got her to stand in front of him so I could catch this picture. What a beautiful memory.
Santa is WONDERFUL because he is OUR Santa. This Santa is awesome because we don't have to stand in a line for hours. This Santa is outstanding because he didn't given up when Laela was being stubborn about getting her picture. This Santa is one of a kind. This Santa is special because he is Lynn and we love him!
Oh...This Santa is the same special man I blogged about a few weeks ago. This Santa is very special to me and my family and your prayers are still welcomed as he continues to battle an illness. You would not have known it from these pictures, but he was in the hospital just two days before this picture session. I believe that he truly loves being able to talk to the kids. He lights up their life (as they light up his) and he really gets to interact with children in a way no one will ever know. This Santa is stubborn and he will continue to fight; however, all thoughts and prayers will be helpful too.
Much Love and Happy Holidays to all!

What's up Georgie?
So...have you been wondering about Georgie? He has been so much more adventurous this year and Laela loves it. She wakes up each morning and can't wait to locate him.
Preparing to bake some yummy treats...
Getting his teeth nice and clean...

Responsibility Chart...
Laela started testing us a little bit after Dhillon was born, so about a month ago we started using this chart.
Seriously! This thing is great!!! Laela earns magnets for different responsibilities. Once she receives so many magnets, she gets a "Surprise". Typically it is her choice of surprise or it is something she has mentioned she wants. For example, she had suddenly stopped telling please and thank you without a reminder from us. Now...we here it so much that it is sickening! Also, we have helping with baby Dhillon, taking a nap at school, eating her bites, cleaning up her toys, sharing, and brushing her teeth. These are all things that were not happening easily or it was just taking us too many reminds for her to complete the task. Now...SHE IS AWESOME! It has really kept her going and we all LOVE it.
