Santa Baby

Santa Baby...

Santa or Father Frost as he is known in the former Soviet gets a visit from Tamara.

She wouldn't sit in his lap so Mommy had to get in the act? Oh well maybe next year.

Tamara helps Daddy wrap a gift for Mommy.

Yes... of course I know what it is ;o).

Daddy and Tamara wrapping.

Sticky stuff... that tape.

Need more Daddy?

OK.. you hold it and I'll tape.

We're getting there.. although I must say arranging to have Santa stop by on a fire engine last Thursday night. Sirens blazing and then totally forgetting about it and putting our daughter to bed an hour before was not one of my brightest moments as a Mother? Yup I did that! Poor thing I popped her out of bed wearing her footie PJ's.. threw on her ski jacket and took her outside to see the jolly fat guy. She was in a daze through most of it. But amazingly she remembered the whole thing the next morning as she ran to the tree and opened the package Santa gave her the night before.

Santa giving her a gift.

She was very happy to see Santa give him a gift as well. Too cute!

OK... back to bed. She went straight to sleep.

Yes... there is a God! ;o)

Happy Mommy!

OK.. still catching up... more to come!

I got this email this morning from her Mom

"Well Katie won 1st prize for the contest. She wants to email everyone later after school but I wanted to thank you guys for your help."

Oh... the power of the Internet. ;o)

I know many of you have voted for Katie and she left the competition in the dust winning with about a 20% lead.

So Thanks everyone.. it was fun and I know Katie really appreciated knowing her family from around the world voted for her.
