He knows if you've been bad or good...

Over Thanksgiving, we took the kids to see Santa. (The REAL Santa. He spends some time in Central Illinois over the holidays, did you know? The rest of the Santas are all just his helpers).

I always love pictures with Santa- but no criers this year!

Moses listened to the story SO seriously:

Here, I think ZuZu was thinking, "Moses, is this guy for real?!"

This is the best picture, but they are all looking the wrong way!

Ah, the whole family:

And we couldn't leave without a picture of Hosanna with Santa for the first time:

The Christmas season has already been SO FUN this year. Moses is really getting into the spirit- he had so much fun helping us decorate the house (we did it while both girls were napping one day- it was some great one-on-one time with our little man!)

He loves "playing" Christmas carols on the piano. Yesterday, these were his lyrics:

Deck the halls with boughs and holly,

falalalala, lalalala

Jesus knows when you are sleeping and when you are awake

So be happy and he will bring you presents

Deck the halls with boughs and holly,

falalalala, lalalala...

Then he went right into "Joy to the World" and "Away in a Manger."

He surely puts us in a jolly Christmas mood!
