It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

We are all so excited that the Christmas season is upon us. Sarah is totally obsessed with Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells, and "ho ho." I think she refers to Santa as "ho ho." For example, she saw a present today and when asked who the present was for, she said, "it's a present for ho ho." Silly Sarah :-) We're going to see Santa tomorrow at The Avenue, so stay tuned for some hopefully cute pictures. I wonder if she'll sit in his lap this year--I'm sort of doubting it. Then we're headed to a Stone Mountain Christmas on Friday evening, which is always lots and lots of cold and fun. We met Michael at Stone Mountain last weekend to take some pictures. All Sarah was concerned about was riding the train (which we were not doing that day) and looking for the train, so it was a bit difficult/impossible to get her into the picture-taking spirit. However, Michael still managed to do a great job and get some decent family photos. Maybe next time Sarah darling will forget about the train and flash her pearly whites for the camera :-)

Tonight, I decided that I probably should ask Sarah what she wants for Christmas instead of just deciding for her. Here's how the conversation went:
Mommy: So, what do you want for Christmas? What do you want Santa Claus to bring you?
Sarah: Ummm....black?
Mommy: Black what?
Sarah: Black....toys!
Mommy: (laughing) You want black toys?
Sarah: Ummmm...or pink?
Mommy: Pink what?
Sarah: Pink toys.
Mommy: You want pink toys? Do you want a train too?
Sarah: Uh huh! I want a pink drum too.
Mommy: You want a pink drum?
Sarah: And pink sticks!
