Santa & His Entourage!

This is the first year we went to the annual "Project Santa Claus Toy & Food Drive", where Santa literally comes to your neighborhood riding a firetruck. The girls left with candy canes and the chance to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas.

A look back in time.

September 2008...Paige's first trip to the dentist. One of my children's favorite places to go.

Styrofoam Gingerbread House

I really missed out yesterday, because Katie and Peter brought over the coolest styrofoam gingerbread house for the girls to put together while I was working! The best part is it plays music and Daddy cannot continually eat the furnishings!!!

Holiday parade without Santa?!

Favorites of the Holiday Parade:

• "Candy." (Piper)
• "Scoobly Doo." (Paige)
• "Fun Saturday night with family & friends." (Mommy)
• "Cold, windy weather." (Daddy)
  

Another secret to my successful shopping!

For all my fellow TJ Maxx friends, I have stumbled across a very awesome website (thanks Emily) in which you can find designer stuff at very awesome prices. It's just like going to TJ Maxx, but the convenience of staying at home (how great is that???)!!!

The "Jammie Skirt"

You too can have this look...just put both feet into one pant leg and flip the remaining pant leg up the back (or in Pipers case, the front). It's the coolest new thing!

Naughty or Nice

I have taken it upon myself to make Santa's job "a little" easier this year and track the Schweigert girls progress leading up to Christmas. They also know I will be doing this, and hopefully will be motivated to be "a little" nicer leading up to the big night!

I have replaced my "Thankfulness" sidebar (because Thanksgiving is over), and put up the "Naughty or Nice" banner. Please feel free Santa (Grammies, Papas and Godparents included) to continue to monitor this, and make your final decision whether you bring toys or coal this Christmas.
