We paid a visit to Santa this year. Last year we skipped it, as I knew Jacob would freak out. He did OK after he warmed up a bit. He got close enough to let Santa touch him and to tell him very quickly "I want Cranky the Crane and a Water Tower for my Train Table". Literally as fast as he could get the words out. Olivia sat on that strange man's lap and was quite patient with me. I wanted a photo of them together. As soon as she looked behind her she began to cry. Of course I rescued her, but I had to snap the photo first!
Here is our Christmas Tree Adventure:
We walked through the lot to find just the right tree!
And here it is:
On the way home, Jacob reached out and said, "Livi, hold my hand"
THE NEXT DAY:
OUR FIRST SNOW 
Jacob loves to play in the snow. It is going to be a fun winter!
