One of the things Jon and I did on our first date was to go look at Christmas lights. We have recreated our first date each year, but the past few years we have incorporated the kids and Santa. Its not quite the same any more, but it gets more fun each year. When we told the boys where we were going, they were thrilled! They couldn't wait to see Santa and tell him what they want for Christmas. Each year we head to the crazy house with all the lights and the boys love picking out all of their favorite displays.
When it was time to see the big guy, Sam went right up and got down to business. Ben needed a little nudge, but eventually was happy to climb up and chat. Ellie was intrigued, but kept her distance.
Apparently we wore Ellie out with the visit. She fell asleep on the 2 minute car ride home from church on Sunday. She didn't flinch when Jon pulled her out of the car and stayed asleep on her mat until the boys woke her up.
Ellie is still working on walking. She is getting better at balancing but hasn't taken that first step yet.
She is also learning more "tricks." She has been clapping for a while now (but its always cute to see). She is also waving bye and gives kisses. We are still working on getting those on video.
Zach is getting better about all the screaming, but the nights are still rough. He goes in for his 2 month appointment this week so hopefully the doctor will have some words of wisdom.

I think Ellie sleeping and Zach being up at night is from all of the dancing they have been doing on your blog. They must be so tired after learning all of those steps and doing the dances!!
you made it down to see the crazy lights! i don't know if we'll make it this year. looks like some new decor on some of the houses.
