Sunday with the Schultz's...and Santa too!

On Sunday afternoon we had a special visitor...Santa came to see how the girls were behaving. He even brought his naughty and nice list with him. Leah was so excited to see him...it took her no time to warm up to him. She sat down and told him exactly what she wanted. She said " I want an American Girl horse, do you have horses?" Santa wasn't quite with it, and told her he didn't have horses at the North Pole, only reindeer. She sat by me on the couch and said "Mommy, Santa doesn't have any horses?" I thought she was going to cry. I told her to explain that she wanted a horse for her dolly and sure enough that is just what she got! Talk about a happy girl!

Kiersten was a little more apprehensive. She gave him a brief snuggle which really means that she just leaned in really close to him. She did sit nicely on the couch with him, and was super excited to play with her little people farm that he brought her.

We were so lucky to have Great-Grandma Fran come and spend Christmas with us this year. She is amazing...for an 80+ year old woman, she sat on the floor and played Barbies with Leah for hours. She walked to the park with the grandkids two days in a row and after we returned to her home in Mondovi she gave both the girls quilts that she had made for them. What a very special Christmas with a very special woman.
