It was a sweet moment for us as we chatted and watched the beautiful snow fall:
Then, Babyhawk woke up.... We must start with a quick story. Babyhawk decided early on in the season that she was scared of Santa. I mean, really scared of Santa. Cried when he came to my office for a visit, avoided him at daycare, refused to even look his way at Southern Lights.
After realizing he had to be a part of her day in order to get gifts from him, she posed a compromise. She would allow him to visit - but he must leave the gifts in the garage. We tried to talk her out of it, but that is what she wanted and Santa was awesome and did just as asked. That, however, did not eliminate her fear. Here she is Christmas morning scared to open the garage door thinking Santa may still be here:
Santa went big time this year:

What a great day! We were able to Skype with one of my brothers, both sets of Grandparents and both of the Great Grandparents on my side. Marli and Jared (and Lola) were with us again this year and it was fun as always. We figured out that Marli and I have spent every Christmas together since she was born in 1985 except for 2008. Having a sister is the best...
