Our annual tree cutting happened and Audra was so excited to help pick it out and to help decorate it. It's so cute to see her in action. She is definitely a force. Whether it be a force of being terribly busy, and crazy and silly, to being a force to be reckoned with. She is definitely at the testing phase. But I digress, decorating went very well.
Audra is such a helper, always wanting to help us. It can be great and can also be a hinder, but her heart is always in the right spot. The tree looks beautiful, it's not perfect, the ornaments don't all match but you know what, that is what makes this our "perfect tree". It's all us.
The first Santa picture with both girls. Melt my heart. Audra was sooo excited to see Santa. She waited so patiently and jumped right up into his lap and gave him a big hug. He was a great Santa, very sweet. He made sure to tell me that Eleanor was a beautiful baby, which I am sure he tells every mom, but I'll just pretend he doesn't say it to everyone (lol). He made sure Audra waited back so he could talk to her and ask her what she wanted him to bring her. Aww melt my heart again. She left so happy. So worth the wait to see that smile. Eleanor looks a little squished, but Santa didn't want to drop her.
(and the little christmas fleece pants that Eleanor is wearing are pants that I made her. The plan was to make both girls the pants, but my sewing machine decided to die and was being repaired, so only got one pair made for the picture. The said jerky machine is back, fixed and busy sewing again for christmas, and Audra will have a pair too!)
They are too precious! I love the picture with Santa!
