'Twas the Week Before Christmas

Somehow Kanaan's first Christmas is sneaking up on us faster than we could have ever imagined 8 months ago...and we've been trying to squeeze a TON of things in before the end of the year!
Kanaan has already given us an early present this week, he's been saying "mama" and "dada" now when we come into a room. Could it be coincidence? Sure, but we like to think he really knows that's who we are:)

Deck the Halls/Mall Santa

Hello Everyone! Today has been an eventful day...first Kanaan graduated to the ladybug room at church because he's too big for the little lamb room now that he can crawl, and we took him to have hist picture with Jolly Old St. Nick:)
I think someone should have warned me how hard it is to find a good Santa!. We started off at a local toy store, the Santa was great but the background was jungle themed--and something just seemed off about that so we headed to the "dreaded" mall and waited about 40 min in line for that cardboard set up. I felt like we were in a scene from the movie "A Christmas Story" kids would be perfectly happy one minute, then it would be their turn for a chance on Santa's lap and they suddenly scream bloody murder.
Kanaan though kept his composure, and smiled nice for a pic:) I've decided next year Santa may have to make a house call so this mamarazzi can get some better shots;)
