Santa, take 472.

I kinda felt like a rockstar with this year's Bass Pro Shop visit....we went early in the month, at like 4...not one person in line ahead of us. BOOM! Oh and Santa was da bomb...Maddie said she wanted a puppy and he gave her some spiel about puppies being a lot of responsibility and he'd have to talk with us first...gave me a wink on the way out. I heart Santa.

This picture of Maddie kills me cause. well, its so her. Just can't be bothered.

And then Colleen had a cute breakfast with Santa get together....a friend from school dressed up as the jolly fella. Not quite as convincing but these clowns didn't notice.

And then...Caleb's Crusade annual Breakfast with Santa. So fun. This Santa is legit. I mean look at him. If he's not the real deal, give me a lump of coal.

And then....The Holiday House. Again, Santa not so convincing but again, kids.fooled.

I'm kinda shocked Maddie hadn't figured it out yet...I'm waiting for the questions..."so why are there so many Santas?" Gulp. Cross that bridge when we get to it. 

Dance Recital...

There is nothing, and I mean nothing sweeter than a gaggle of cute girls dancing-ish. 

And how gorgeous is this girl?? You'd {almost} never know she's so rotten ;)

See what I mean?! 

This group has had so much fun dancing together (and their Mammas have had fun having Mamma time...). Sad to see it end but I'm sure we'll be strapping our tap shoes on again soon!

Gobble gobble!

It started with a Rice Krispy treat turkey. That's right, Rice.Krispy.Treat.Turkey. Had to show those other class moms wazzup. Seriously, how awesome is it?? You'll get NO modesty from me on this one. Stuck up PTA moms-0, me-1. So what if all my projects are late and I forget to send my kid with lunch? The turkey wins, every time.

Our Thanksgiving weekend was, as per the ushe, cray. We start by running all over God's green earth eating what feels like 47 turkey dinners. And then the Christmas decor begins to sprout. And the elf (the damn elf!) arrives. I used to love this thing...three years ago when it was new and fresh. Now I'm making it poop Hershey's Kisses to keep it new and exciting. What the eff am I gonna do with him next year?!

Oh, and don't hate on our bad ass 11 foot reindeer. Yup, biggest blow up in the hood. Booyah!
