All I want for Christmas




Lilo: "I'd like some Glass slippers for Christmas"
Santa: "Oh! Those are hard to make. I'll see what I can do" Posted by Picasa
The Bourden's, who we met on the plane over the summer, invited us out to New Hampshire to Charmingfare Farms. The farm offers horse drawn sleigh rides through a winter wonderland on their farms. You pass through the homes of the Grinch, the gingerbread man, nutcracker, and a host of other Christmas characters and end up at a shack where Mrs. Claus is serving cocoa and cookies. And all the characters are running around dancing. there's also a petting/feeding zoo with some really unique animals (LLAMA?) The kids had a great time, and we went to the cracker barrel afterwards for dinner(for the first time).
Now Lilo thinks Santa lives in New Hampshire, not the North Pole. Oh well.

PDA

We live on the 33rd floor of our building, and the elevator is not the fastest. As a result, the elevator ride up is always interesting. (Takes about a minute). The kids usually interact with people in the elevator, dance around, give each other hugs, etc. Sometimes, Stitch just plops himself on the ground.
The other day, Lilo and I were riding up the elevator with this young couple. As soon as the doors closed, the couple started hugging and making out in the elevator. (get a room!) Lilo watches them for a second, turns to me, and puckers up her lips! Making a "smooching" noise, she leans in torwards me, leaving me looking at a pair of pink round lips. All I can do is turn to her and give a kiss on her cheek.
Of course the Mr and Mrs PDA don't notice anything.
