See You Real Soon........

RyAnne, Bailey, and Dakota just received a Portable North Pole very merry video from Santa this weekend saying he would see them real soon.... 

Wednesday, December 12, 2012 they saw him.  He stopped at Great Uncle Terry and Aunt Carol's house!  When he came in he gave Dakota his bells to take good care of.

Then he had the kids settle on the couch to open a few small presents since they have been good this year.

Dakota received a sounds and light tractor, Bailey a kitten like Half-Pint, which she has named Jingle.

And RyAnne the chiuaua she has always wanted - Chippy!

It was not long and it was time for Santa to go.  He is VERY busy this time of the year!

We hope you stop again - real soon, Santa!

What A Day....

First, Mom and Dad came home from work.  It was a long day and we were going through backpacks and getting supper ready.  Then, Bailey announced that she wasn't feeling well.  So, while Dad was busy in the kitchen and Mom was picking out clothes for the next day, Dakota decided to entertain sick Bailey.  "Dakota, stop jumping around!" Mom exclaimed.  Minutes later...."Dakota, did you hear what your mom said!"  Dad announced.  A few more bounces and Mom marched into the living room....just in time to see Dakota flying through the air then smacking his head on the railing!!!!!!

It was a small gouge, but after we realized we could see his skull, off to the the ER Dad and Dakota went.

In the meantime, Mom stayed home with Bailey.  By this time we realized she had the flu - BLAH!

And Dakota?  He got stitches in his head and didn't shed a tear.

The Entertainer!
