Santa

Of course with Holidays all around us, we talk about and see Santa Claus a lot. She loves counting the ones we have in the house and will give them hugs, point them out on the Christmas tree, or when we see them in peoples yards. What's hilarious is that she points to one on our mantle and says "Wook Mommy, that's San-Ta" very deliveratly and making sure to pronounce the T. When I say, "That's right Tessa, that's Santa Clause, she says "No, mommy, that's not Santa Claus that's San-Ta" as if they are two totally different people. It's so cute.

I absolutely LOVE the Holdiays with a toddler. The pure joy and excitement she gets out of the smallest things are so much fun. She loves looking at the Christmas tree and for the most part has been really good about not tugging and yanking, she just points and shows us different things she sees. The lights are by far her favorite, she still gets SOOOO excited over the smallest decoration with lights. I mean, we see the same lights every day and you would think it was the first time in her life she was seeing them.

The other funny thing she has started saying is "OH.......MY.......GOSH" She even says it with dramatic pauses in between. She usually uses it when we see a particularly elaborate display or snow/rain.
