We have been eating masses and masses of snacks, lots of turkey, our fair share of brussel sprouts plus some more snacks…

We have opened so many presents that we can’t count them (+ we opened some of mummy’s and daddy’s presents too).

We have been well behaved and less well behaved, but we figure that Santa has not started tracking our behavior yet for next Xmas…

We have been playing games with all our pressies and tried on all our new clothes (at the same time!) and we have eaten some of the chocolate that Grand-dad got for Xmas!

Last, but not least; Merry Xmas and thank you for all the pressies!

Today was our very first organized performance with Kaelyn… We have had many of them in the past at home, but this was in front of a “crowd” and together with all her nursery friends.

5 songs + dressed up as snowmen/ladies + collecting pressies from santa + being on best behaviour…. No wonder Amelie and Kaelyn is looking for trouble at the end of it…

Great experience and all captured on tape to be used for years to come as entertainment….!

This is really the first Xmas were Kaelyn goes into it with expectations and a Xmas wish for Santa…. And it is fantastic to see her excitement for all things Xmassy!

This morning we went out and bought the Xmas tree and then we decorated it…. She was mesmerized by the lights and she helped with the baubles and she got to finish the job by putting the star on. Exciting stuff (both for the 3 year old and the 41 year old)!

For weeks she has been telling us that Santa will be bringing her a scooter with lights! Santa better deliver, or he will have to deal with a disappointed little girl (and the rest of the family)… The other day we had our shopping delivered and when the door bell rang, Kaelyn jumped up and shouted “It is Santa bringing my scooter”! Bless!

Ho-Ho-Ho! 12 days to go!

Just about 2 1/2 month since our last update… Don’t know what happened with time, but somewhere between sleepless nights and sneezes and coughs it must have slipped by!

We are all well. Alex is now 4 months and 2 days old. Kaelyn is 3 in a month. Jane and I are planning our next trip to the cinema (probably sometime in 2015)…

The other day in the car (going to the shop) a little voice came from the back seat: “are we almost there yet?”… Our little girl is growing up fast!

Xmas-plans are progressing. Santa has been informed about Kaelyn’s wishes (scooter), decorations have been replenished and the tree will be purchased next weekend. This Xmas we will also have Jane’s dad and nieces staying with us, so it will be busy house.

Ho-ho-ho…. almost there!
