Started the week of with a bang!

We started the week off with a bang!!  We headed out to see Santa at our neighborhood clubhouse.  We had the boys go in first to get pics with the plans to add the girls in with Madeline being last so as to minimize tears.  Well we were thrown for a loop when Lillian decided to be the one to melt down.  She wasn't having any part of sitting on Santa's lap or taking a picture!  
So we tried for a family picture.  OMG!!!
We decided to go do the activities and eat some cookies in hopes that we could talk Lillian into it and try again.  We explained that she might not get any toys if she doesn't tell Santa what she would like.  Nope, she didn't want to.  So we made some crafts and headed on out.
Once we got to the card and almost everyone was buckled in, Lillian lost it and started bawling that she wouldn't get any toys.  So. . . we unloaded and headed back in for take two.  She reluctantly squeaked out a smiled and then told Santa what she wanted.  She was tickled pink with herself for talking to Santa.  We were proud she conquered her fears and we got a pic!  So that's the tale of going to see Santa 2017!  Ha! Ha!
Our elves brought lots of little things this week starting with musical instruments!
Somehow we have gotten into making silly faces during dinner time!  Goofballs!
I made lots of cute cookies this weekend and did my first ever shipment which was a success!
Our elves delivered a Santa Cam this week!!  The kids were SO excited!
Little stockings were hung by the fireplace with care.
I made some cute Lego Star Wars cookies for a birthday that were a huge hit!
Yesterday the elves brought a fun game for the kiddos.
I made some more cute cookies for some of my Peds Anesthesia friends who had a party last night.  They turned out super cute!
We had friends over last night for dinner and had some fun!
This morning our elves were relaxing in their robes and brought a treat for the kiddos to enjoy their drinks!
We are looking forward to another fun week!  Christmas time is just such a magical time of year!
