Santa Came

We had a very exciting Christmas this year. Papa, Wyatt and Malcolm spent some time tracking Santa's progress on the internet - he delivered a lot of presents in Europe and elsewhere on Christmas eve before arriving in Truckee. We left some cookies out for Santa and some carrots for his reindeer. The first thing Wyatt said when he woke up was, "Do you think Santa ate the cookies?" and we ran out to go see but he was quickly distracted by all the presents.

Wyatt and Malcolm have been doing a good job sharing all their new presents - mostly trucks - but Wyatt is pretty convinced they are all his gifts.

We are getting ready for Christmas! Two little boys are very excited for Santa's arrival. Although, Wyatt is getting a little tired of being nice to his brother because Santa is watching - so today he has decided that he doesn't want Santa to come anymore. Its just not worth it to him, I guess. But I'm sure he'll change his mind once he sees the presents under the tree. In the meantime, we've been making cookies, decorating the tree, making a ginger bread house and singing Christmas songs. We've also been playing outside in the snow and sledding. Hurry up and get here Santa!

Safari West

This weekend we split up the family to provide a little one-on-one time for each of the kiddos. Mama and Wyatt went on an overnight excursion to Safari West. We went hiking, slept in safari tents and took a three hour jeep safari where we got to see lots of animals - including zebras, giraffes, rhinos and ostriches. We went with our friends Lucy and Umi. I think Wyatt's highlight was jumping on the beds.

Moosey's Day Out

While mama and Wyatt were away Papa and Moosey painted the town red. They rode ships, looked at bears and dug in the dirt at the Bay Area Discovery Museum and even did a little Christmas shopping at the mall where Moose man stopped to drive a big green truck.

It's Snowing

When Papa received a few packages this week, the boys decided to use the peanuts inside to simulate a snowstorm.
