Kira and Daddy
We almost never put Kira in dresses and tights but I thought it would please the MIL. Doesn't she look cute with her Daddy?! I think she's looking at the tree with blue lights behind me.Will's Christmas Morning!
William with a marshmallow sucker that must have been made at the North Pole because they just don't sell that kind of candy at the stores.
Will woke up in the middle of the night on Christmas and crawled into my bed. He was half-asleep and sounded very sad, "I only got ONE Legos...I hope Santa gives me Legos." Then he fell asleep again. THANK GOODNESS Santa got him Legos! I told him Santa spent a lot of money on those Legos ($70) but he reminded me that Santa didn't have to pay for them because the elves make the toys in the factory. Oh yeah. That's right.

Will's almost girlfriend Esther
Will has an "almost girlfriend". He had a crush on her in Kindegarten. I think they felt bonded because they'd gone to the same daycare years ago when they were too young to really remember one another but old enough to become friends.
He still likes her this year and after sledding today she drew a heart in the air and blew him a kiss. So he said, "You know I have to do it back" and drew a heart in the air and blew her a kiss. Then they played Monopoly and he said, "ladies first" and let her have the first turn.
He said Damagio and Essence are boyfriend/girlfriend and Robert and Helen are boyfriend/girlfriend but he's not boyfriend/girlfriend with Esther yet. He's waiting for her to make the first move. He's waiting for her to be the one to say it.
Apparently we didn't invite her to his 6 year birthday party and Esther told her mom that she sure would like to go to Will's party and Esther's mom told Esther that we have to get an invite to go. We'll be sure to invite Esther to Will's 7 year birthday party this year.
He also asked if it was okay to get married if you are different skin colors. I told him yes. He said even when you're old. I said yes. He said, "I knew it!" Apparently he just wanted to check that everything was okay with Essence and Damagio's union. We talked about how it doesn't matter.
He wanted to hear about the boy that liked me in first grade. I told him about the boy who would give me his toys from his cracker-jack box. I left out the part about how that boy tried to kiss me and I ran away and fell under the tire of the bus and thought I was going to get run over.
Then he mentioned that I didn't marry that boy....so we talked about how sometimes you like one person and then you like someone else and then someone else until you get a lot older and find the person you will marry. He wondered who that boy married. I have never wondered that myself since I always blamed him for almost killing me with that kiss.
So then I told William to go to bed since it was way past his bedtime and I can't have my little gentleman being tired and cranky at school tomorrow.

Will's Christmas spirit
Will: "Do you know what I see?"
Me: "What"
Will: "I'm looking deep into my heart and do you know what I see?"
Me: "What"
Will: "The Christmas Spirit. I have so much love."
Me: "What"
Will: "I'm looking deep into my heart and do you know what I see?"
Me: "What"
Will: "The Christmas Spirit. I have so much love."

Update
I have been neglecting my blog lately. Hmmm....Let's see....what's interesting?
I slept for 15 hours last night - from 7:30PM - 10:30AM. I have a little sore throat and Jeff has a little runny nose and Will has a little sore throat and Kira is a little off kilter so I think we're all fighting something off but - it's little - not big - so we're fine. I bet that sleep helped!
We put up our Christmas tree today! We got a real one this year! Yahoo! I love breathing in that fresh pine scent. It's not decorated yet though. We'll get to that tomorrow. Will can't wait until Christmas and has wrapped his plastic bowling pins as a present for Jeff. He wrapped my slippers as a present for me. I wrapped Kira's "go dogs go" book as a present for her (wrapped in paper towels). I wrapped Will's stickers and some Kit Kats as a present for him (wrapped in tinfoil). We'll open our previously owned gifts tomorrow morning.
I'm thinking of skipping the Christmas cards this year. Not feeling it. What's one year? We'll see...
Will is now a size 6 jeans. He completely grew out of his size 5 jeans - ankles showing and all. Amazing!
Will has a LOOSE TOOTH in the front bottom. He's very excited about that.
Kira is just a crazy little thing. Seriously. She's going to need to be enrolled in dance class ASAP...this girl loves music and movement so much!
Kira LOVES having books read to her lately. She loves her books!
She says "TREE" now. I suppose when there is a big Christmas tree in your living room it is easy to learn that word.
We bought a new star for the top of the tree. I wanted to return it because it just doesn't look right but Will says every time he looks at it - it reminds him of God and Jesus - so we'll keep it.
I told him years ago that Santa wasn't real because I couldn't stand lying to him but I think he forgot. He told me a few nights ago that he isn't quite sure if Santa is mom and dad or if Santa is real but he's thinking Santa is real. So we talked about how fun it is to believe in Santa. He asked Jeff about it today and Jeff told him "Of course Santa is real." Will said happily, "Okay, if you say so!" So that's fine. Santa is real. We do believe!
Kira's hair is a disaster. I'm not one to put barrettes in a baby's hair but in retrospect that would have been a good idea. Her hair is so long and keeps getting in her eyes and she really needs to have it clipped back until it grows out a bit longer but she isn't used to having anything in her hair so now she won't leave them in. We've been practicing putting barrettes in - hoping that one day she'll leave them in. Will wore a barrette today. Kira had one in for a few minutes. I put six in my hair. Nothing is working. Maybe if we all wear barrettes every day - she'll eventually keep one in.
Kira had her first candy cane today. She tried to share it with her stuffed bunny. It was very sweet.

Christmas Socks
William hung 4 socks on the fireplace and filled 3 of them with leggos and bakugan cards and stuff and left 1 of them empty. Then he came and told me that Santa came and put up Christmas stockings. He said that he looked in mine and it was empty. He said that was because it was filled with love. He said it was filled with 200% love.I'll take an empty sock filled with LOVE anyday!
