Waiting For Santa!!

We wait for Santa to arrive on the firetruck at my niece Dean-na's house.
He comes the weekend before Christmas, 
and the kids are always so excited to see him.
While we wait, we bake Christmas cookies and decorate gingerbread houses.
It is a super fun time.
Dean-na is mom to my two great nieces, Addie & Lorelei 
and my niece Sarah was there too, she is mom to my only great nephew Anthony.

Dean-na does not own a rolling pin...

so the girls let us borrow theirs.
Much to our surprise, it worked like a charm!










The pictures tell the story, 
Dean-na and Anthony's home is the best place in which to celebrate anything,
everything is so relaxed and fun.
This is one of my favorite nights of the year!

    Hello, I think the kiddies enjoyed Santa's visit and presents already? That is cool! The gingerbread house and cookies look wonderful. Adorable photos. Enjoy your day and weekend.

    Happy Merry Debbie! Reed is so concerned Santa won't be able to get into the new house because it doesn't have a woodstove. I told him Santa's magic and will figure something out. (And I will leave a window cracked.)

    Stay warm, keep knitting (it's looking AWESOME over there).

    Much love,
