>December Daily: Day 5 Get Behind Me Santa!
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Santa came to Bancroft last weekend. I thought I’d take the girls so they could ask why we didn’t get the flat screen tv Lily so nicely asked for last year and have them put in another request.
I knew how Lily would handle sitting on Santa’s lap so we let her watch the other kiddies with him for a while.
Since Phil was out of town the Munderlohs helped me out. It was finally our turn!
And it went down exactly as I had expected.
Santa told Leanna to sit on his lap with Lily…so she did.
That was a little better. Clara didn’t know what Lily’s problem was.

Due to some unfortunate technical difficulties I haven’t been able to post any updates recently. I apologize for the loss this has been to all of our faithful readers! Here are some highlights of the last few weeks.
Swinging all by herself or clinging for her dear life with everything that she has?
We got a little snow this week.

Its finally time to put out the Christmas decorations! They’re sparse this year and (hopefully) well out of reach.
I was happy to add another stocking to the bunch!
I’ve wanted an advent calendar for some time now but haven’t found just the one I want. I saw this idea online to use a muffin tin. Since I had all the materials I figured I’d make it for this year. It only has 12 cups so I’ll have to add more days after the 12th. Lily has enjoyed finding a Teddy Graham behind each door every morning.

Neil and Verna were able to come up for Thanksgiving this year! I’m happy to report that I pulled it off for the third year in a row. It was a louder and busier house than last year but that’s how it should be right?
Clara was not that happy to see her first turkey.
There was a lot of screaming right after this photo was shot. She may be a vegetarian.
Grandma and Grandpa brought Lily a tool set for Christmas since she loves helping her daddy so much.
She liked the gift but spent most of the week running from Grandpa.
Grandpa had Clara’s stamp of approval at least!



Grandpa made this beautiful bull and cart for the girls!

Verna taught me how to make these cute slippers for Clara!
