This year was an extra special Christmas at our home - why? Well it's because Pop Pop drove all the way from NC to spend the holiday with us. We took him to see the Hershey Sweet Lights which is about a 30 minute drive-through a holiday light display located in Hershey, PA).
Christmas Eve we all went out for a nice dinner and opened our stocking stuffers when we got home and George read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to all of us. Christmas morning is always something the kids look forward to (what kid doesn't?). Gracie got her American Girl Doll that she wanted so bad and Jake was happy to see that Santa got him the Ipad Touch he wanted so bad. Santa even got Pop Pop a few nice gifts;). The kids and I had a great time preparing for the holidays. Between decorating and baking cookies we all had our fair share of fun and weight gain! Oh....Jake and Gracie thought it would be nice to write Santa a letter to go along with his cookies and hot chocolate - I got a kick out of the signature request Jake wrote down for Santa to sign (I believe this would be Jake's proof that there's really a Santa Clause). Lil' G took the honors of signing the note as Santa - which I later put away in Jakes memorabilia box. Jake did ask me this year if there really was such thing as a Santa and boy did I wing that one....I came up with some story let me tell you. LOL.
