Ava and Ella preparing their lists for Santa.

Me helping Ava with her list.

Perfect picture.

Not so perfect picture. Santa is such a good guy.

Ella tree. Notice the one ornament on it.

What a busy couple of days. Yesterday (Monday) I took the day off of school and Sarah and I got all of our Christmas shopping done. Every, single person on our list is now finished. And no, we didn't end up killing each other, we actually enjoyed the day.
We also decided to take the girls and see Santa. As you can see from above one loved the other, not so much. It was funny watching both girls react. Ava couldn't wait to see Santa, and Ella just kept getting more and more nervous. I wonder how many other people have pictures like the one with Ella screaming in it. I also decided to put all 3 of our Christmas trees on to look at. Grandma Sue gave each girl their own tree with lights and ornament. Ava was especially happy because Aunt Shawna had given her all of her Barbie ornaments so that is what is on her tree. Ella has one lone ornament and it is about 20 years old. But she loves it. Cy, the cat, loves the trees to. She tries to climb in them and eat the needles, crazy.
