Ten Little Indians (The end will explain)

I have some friends from high school that create an amazing blog about their life as they wait for their baby girl from China. She is such a great writer. I love to check in on their lives to see what she has come up with now. Well this is her rendition and mine will follow here. I need to preface this by saying that my list came from my itunes on my computer which has most of my worship songs on it and of course my daughters list of songs too (she is 5 and loves music too!) Katie, you are going to need to do this because I know your ipod is stacked with music so here are the directions:

O Christmas Tree...O Christmas Tree

Here is my attempt at being a photographer. Okay, really I was trying to figure out my camera settings and I thought what better subject than my beautiful Christmas tree.

Santa Visited Waldo's

On Saturday we had a fun event at Waldo's Coffee Company. Santa arrived at the coffee shop to hear what children were wishing for and we also collected toys for Toys for Tots. Santa was amazing and a huge hit to most children, while others ran the opposite way crying. As for Toys for Tots we currently have two huge boxes full of gifts for children in Nicollet and Blue Earth Counties. Gavin slowly warmed up to Santa and by the end of the morning he was hamming it up. Last year Ethan was missing in action when it came time to taking a picture with Santa, this year it was different. He was all about it and Lauren would only take a picture if Gavin, Ethan, and our nanny, Bethany were in the picture too. She was probably thinking "safety in numbers."

After a long day schmoosing with Santa, Gavin was tuckered out.
