santa gets no love

in the middle of december I contracted the worst-flu-ever-yuck. I think it was the zombie flu. also anyone else way not into it when people blog all their icky symptoms and sickly details? me neither but the point in telling you that was that during this time came go-see-Santa-at-the-church-party time. recognizing how important this part of Christmas was, my helpful husband took the kids and even took some pictures. and he did great because these are all within about 8 seconds.

at this point I imagine he was doing his hold-still-and-maybe-you'll-go-away-thing. hyphen hyphen. one variety of his tantrums these days involves holding very still, opening his fingers to drop whatever he's holding, then laying face down on the floor in silence with his arms by his sides. good thing he can't see us laughing at him.

luckily Lily was in thoughtful-Lily-mode that day and told Santa that her little brudder liked cars and trucks.
