Santa's in trouble

I've been delinquent with posts, but this shouldn't give anyone the impression there isn't a lot going on around here. Case in point, several days ago Sara and a few of the other moms decided to take the kids en masse to the downtown Macy's to see Santa. It looks like Santa had his hands full. After bombarding Santa with various Christmas wishes the 6 adults and 11 children decided to take downtown by storm and go to dinner. Wow.

Christmas is just around the corner and Stella is excited. Her cousins and aunt and uncle will be staying with us Christmas Eve and Christmas day, as their house is undergoing some renovations and doesn't have a very festive feel (or functioning bedrooms). Stella's Aunt Jenni, who has a functioning house, thinks she and her family might stay with us that night as well, as she doesn't want to miss out on the fun. So, we will be Christmas central. This will be wonderful fun for Stella. I will likely be in in the fetal position by dinnertime with various children poking me with plastic golf clubs and rubber swords.
