The boys got to meet Santa at Barnes and Noble this year. Caleb has gone from agnostic to atheistic about Santa over the past year, but he made sure he was first in line. He told Santa that he wanted The Essential Pokemon Handbook, which he ended up getting for Christmas. :-)
Chase thought really hard, but he couldn't think of one thing to ask for. Not sure if that's refreshing or frustrating for Santa.
We loved adding characters to our advent calendar. Oma and Alyson made this magnetic one and it has been a huge hit.
Here's Caleb at Longwood Gardens outside of Philadelphia. We went there for the carol singalong at the organ and for the Christmas lights. Basically the entire city was there with the same idea, and the way you stayed happy in the cold was to drink hot cocoa. It tastes even better when you're missing a few teeth. :-) Caleb impressed us with his good attitude, even though we spent a good portion of the night trying to handle Brooksie's craziness or searching for lost family members...we're still debating who was lost and who was in the right place!

That Longwood Gardens hot chocolate was really good. How wonderful that Chase couldn't think of anything he wanted for Christmas. It shows he's not watching a lot of kids t.v. shows!
