here comes santa claus...

It's nice to be back into normal routines. I will probably post a few posts today to get caught up. We visited Santa at the mall the week before Christmas. Zane was getting very concerned that he had not told him what he wanted yet and it was getting close to Christmas. We were worried that he would ask Santa for something that we didn't want him to get (which he did - it was Bratz Magic Hair Color - a girls toy and Bratz - no way). It was the ONLY thing he asked for from Santa, so we were a little concerned that Christmas morning would be a disaster. We explained to Zane that Santa knows that mom and dad don't like Bratz things because they are inappropriate and a bad example - so Santa would not get him something that he knows mom and dad wouldn't be happy with. We weren't sure how that was going to go over. On Christmas Eve - Santa called to talk to Zane to check whether he was being good or naughty. When Santa asked Zane what he wanted for Christmas - he said "Well, mom and dad don't like Bratz, so I guess I will just have a 2 wheeled scooter." Hurray! Crisis averted!

Hysterical Lily - of course. Love that age.
