Santa!

Don't be alarmed, this is the face of a child absolutely overwhelmed with Christmas excitement!

Tonight we went to a mall to visit Santa Claus. There was a train there for the kids to ride, and Asher thought it was the most wonderful thing! While we waited in line for his turn on the train, he was grinning ear to ear. Throughout his train ride, he was laughing and smiling.

When he got off the train, Asher couldn't stop talking about how much fun it was. Here he is, telling Sarah all about it!

The whole time we were in line to see Santa, Asher was absolutely ecstatic.

And here he is, talking to the man himself. He asked Santa for "an animal set, with a man to give the animals medicine".

Last night was also a big night for Asher. He performed with his class at the day-care center's big Christmas program. He sang "Jingle Bells", "Here Comes Santa Claus", and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree". He practiced a lot!

On another note, we have a webcam now, and we are loving Skype! It is so cool to be able to see people "face to face" and talk, over a thousand miles away, and it's free! If you are on Skype, give us a call sometime! You can see our messy house!
