Letter to Santa

You guys! I have a child that is old enough to write letters to Santa, get excited for Santa, and start to behave after I give him the ol' "Santa is watching you!" threat. When did that happen!?
The best part about this first letter is that it so perfectly describes him. Full of cars and treats. You better believe this Christmas will be full of gingerbread houses, cookies for Santa, and carrots for the reindeer. Because the holidays are so much more fun with a kid who can get you excited for the season all over again!

Well, It's obvious that I failed miserably at taking pictures this Christmas. It seems like it went by so fast! Liam was so spoiled. Just to same some gifts (mind you, some), Liam got blocks, puzzles, a door jumper, and Gramma & Grampa K sent him his own stocking. We stayed the night at my parents so we could spend Christmas morning opening presents with my family. Liam must have known it was Christmas Eve because he would not sleep for anything. 1:00 AM and he was talking and giggling, 2:30 AM he finally fell asleep, and 8:00 AM he was R-E-A-D-Y to get going. But watching him open his presents made the bags under our eyes worth it. Christmas is 100x better with a kid. I'm so bummed I didn't take more pictures, maybe that will have to be my New Years resolution. 

(p.s. I can't believe this kid is going to be 1 in a month and a half. my heart, ouch.)

And another year goes by with us waiting too long to send out our Christmas card, but that's why the heavens invented the internet, right? So, here is our Christmas card that I actually put some elbow grease into and was so excited to share with everyone. I just need to work on my timing, dang it. (Sorry about the fuzzy wording, the computer screen has a hard time showing it clearly!)

Merry Christmas from the Kabalans!
