I think this is the first time we've taken a pic with Santa. All of the other years HJ wouldn't go near the old man and we didn't want to just plunk baby Finny up there alone so we blew it off. But this year she said she was up for it.

We ended up having to buzz Finn's head because the stylist couldn't do anything with his hair. I know buzz cuts are easy but they're so harsh looking. He either looks like he's about to be deployed or that his name should be Mordecai.

We're going ice skating tomorrow and seeing a play (Merry Chris Mouse) on Saturday. Ho Ho Ho people. Tis the season. I'm trying to do something Christmasy and fun every day. 

Hadley wakes up every morning and immediately shouts the number of days left until Christmas. She is really freaking out about getting Kit Kittredge (American Girl doll). And she says that, "Mom, I'm really freaking out about getting Kit Kittredge!!" She's been begging for forever for it, so my mom got it for her for Christmas and like and idiot, I told her. So now every other day she has questions regarding the package and it's whereabouts and Nana's level of responsibility regarding mailing said doll and where would I hide this doll and what if the hiding place is wet and what if she accidentally sees it and if she accidentally sees it can she still have it?

All like that. All in one breath. Every other day. You can understand if Kit Kittredge is not high on my list right now.

Finn wants one thing and one thing only and talks about it to everyone who will listen: Hungry Hungry Hippos. He played once with Scott a few months ago and is hooked. He also tends to think that Scott will be coming over for playdates to play Hungry Hungry Hippo with Finn.  Scott is a grown ass adult and friend of Peter's. Age doesn't matter. If you're down with HHH than Finn is down with you.

Lots and lots of stuff going on around here. Stay tuned. In the meantime, Happy Holidays all.
