Bikes, Bikes, Bikes

Finally, I am getting more of the photos from Christmas off the camera (well these ones where on my iphone) . Piper and Tristan asked Santa for bikes, and the big guy did not let them down. It was so awesome that the weather was nice enough to actually ride them over the Christmas holidays. I thought we would be riding them in the basement. I think the smiles say it all! Boy do we love Santa!

PS Once Piper passed Tristan she hasn't let him go in the lead ever again! She is a very competetive little girl and she wants to be out front!

Countdown to Santa!

On Sunday afternoon we set up the Christmas tree. Last year we set it up in the basement because we were afraid the twins would pull it down. I didn't like it though because I never really got to enjoy the tree as I rarely make it down to the basement, so this year we thought we'd give it a try having it upstairs. We decided to only put a few decorations on it and yes they have slowly be put up higher and higher. We have made a few "twin friendly" decorations that are down low.

I am trying harder to blog more often. Here we go...
On Saturday we went off to the CrossIron Mills Mall in search of Santa. Yes, the twins are well aware now of who Santa is and what he can do for them.
Question to Piper - "What are you going to ask Santa for?" Answer - "Bike" What color? Pink
What does Tristan want? Blue Bike.
Throughout all the questions Tristan just nods.
We had to stand in line for about 45 minutes. Well actually, Piper and Mommy stood in line and Daddy chased Tristan (aka Denise the menace) all over Bass Pro. When we finally got up to Santa of course Tristan said nothing and Piper did all the talking. Everything went great until Mommy stepped out of the picture frame. Then as you can see things were close to going badly.

On Sunday we went to see Santa. We were a little worried about how the twins would react to Santa, but they actually did pretty well. Tristan actually looks like he is smiling and we are so happy that Piper is not freaking out! Last year we couldn't get them to both look the same direction, so I think we did much better this year.



Thought it would be fun to compare last years Santa photo to this years! My how they have grown and changed!
