Santa Claus!

I promise, I promise - when Santa brings us a new MAC we will do the blog UP next year!  Seriously, Mama will pin a bunch of things on Pinterest and magically her blog will turn into a full fledged little internet site with all things Lilly, Anna Jane and Jack!
No, really - this stay at home business is serious BUSY and only having iPad's around (well, plus a work laptop that Mama pulls out only like once or twice a week) well living just gets in the way of blogging.  Mama is missing all kinds of the fun little moments, the sweet memories that 20 years from now she might forget all about.  So, 2013 was a blur but she swears - she SWEARS - she will blog more for y'all (really for herself) more in 2014.  Promise.
As a side note, Anna Jane pointed out to Mama that she breaks promises ALL the time.  Like when she PROMISED to pick her up from school but Daddy came instead.  Or she PROMISED we could watch 3 movies on a school night.  She PROMISED she wouldn't cook chicken.  Again.  Only God keeps his promises, Mommy and YOU are not GOD.  Really, she said that...
Anyway it's the HOLIDAYS and we LOVE THE HOLIDAYS!!!  Mostly we LOVE CHRISTMAS!  We get to see almost the whole family this year and we are so excited!  To get in the mood we visited our favorite beardy man (sorry, Daddy - you are really our favorite beardy man but around this time of year this guy nudges ya out)

No one cried!  We are getting TOO BIG!
Santa asked what we wanted this year.  Here's what we said:
Jack: "Car car!" or "Ironman!" (everything, I mean EVERYthing is Car car! or Ironman!  Daddy said Jack is going to need to learn his superheroes.  Mommy said, "Hey Daddy look at this picture of Ironman I got for Jack's room!"  Daddy rolled his eyes and said, "That's Flash."  Well they all look like Ironman to me too, little dude.
Anna Jane: "Hello Kitty crap!  All kinds of it!"  She left out "crap" and said, "Hello Kitty"...that's it.
Lilly: "Surprise me."
Hello?!?  Surprise you?!?  Okay, how about Santa surprises you with a mop and a bucket?  Lilly says, "Mommy, Santa knows what's in my heart.  He won't let me down."  Well kiddo could you let yo Mama know what's in your heart?  Nope.  Surprise.  Sweet.  I can't wait to see the look of letdown on her face Christmas morning when she discovers Santa's not a mind reader.
Less than two weeks away!  Are you ready for Christmas?  Oh we are nowhere near ready, y'all.  Not even close.  But Mama works best under pressure.
Love,
Lilly, Anna Jane and Jack
