Santa's gift and our future cheerleader!

Here are some pictures from a while ago; I just got these pictures from Angel's camera the other day. Thanks Angel!
We went to a Christmas party this last Christmas and Santa was there. For weeks before the party Raelin kept saying she wanted to give Santa a present. The day before the party, I asked her what she wanted to give him and she went and found her beloved monkey that she had dressed in a dolly dress. I explained to her that if she gave it to Santa, it wouldn't be hers anymore and she wouldn't get to play with it anymore and was she okay with that. She said yes so I said okay. She wrapped it herself and "wrote" him a note and gave it to him at the Christmas party. It warmed my heart to see how kind and generous she was. Santa probably didn't really get what she was giving him and how much it came from her heart, but it just made me proud to see what a thoughtful girl she is. She was so happy and excited to watch Santa open her gift.
You can't quite tell from this picture but Raelin has a huge smile on her face in this one and Santa is holding her monkey.

And here is our little cheerleader-man. Raelin got some pom-pom's for Christmas and Ryker started playing with them one day. Angel started snapping pictures of his "routine."

Ready, GO!
Go team, go!





Ta-Da!Isn't that the best picture!
