Santa Baby

I was giddy as a little girl to take Lu to meet Santa. I don't know....there's just something about taking a baby to sit on Santa's lap and everything is so special this time of year being first time parents :) For some reason I thought she would do just fine but that is not how it went down. It was the cry heard round Holland :)  Made for some funny pictures though.

Round 2 at the mall with my students.  Same thing :)

Every Christmas we take our students to the mall to do some Christmas shopping and to see a movie.  I am so thankful for my great group of students and staff that I get to work with.  I love it that Luci will grow up and be comfortable around individuals with disabilities.  Who knows, maybe she will want to be a special educator too.  Below is our social worker Lisa and her little guy Traverse.  How great it is that our kiddos can spend the day with us?!  Fun memories. 

After the mall we headed to papa's office to celebrate his 30th!



Here we are all dressed up for Chad's work party.  Little Lu got to spend the evening with her Uncle Dave, Aunt Kate and the boys.  She had so much fun playing with them.
