This past weekend, we got to see Santa. LHI, the place my dad works, had a family day at the Children's Museum in La Crosse. It was fun seeing all the neat things. There were a lot of kids. Maggie went nuts - I don't think she stopped running for more than 2 mins (which she sat to eat a sugar cookie). I think that may have been why she was crying on Santa's lap - its not that she was scared, she just didn't want to be held or to sit still. I decided to swing behind the news channel 8 desk in honor of my Aunt Kristi - hope you like the pic. Anywho, it was a fun trip. Maggie was out cold before we even got out of the parking ramp.

Then I wanted to share a few pics from our Thanksgiving with the Shay and with the Servais clan. We went to my uncle Jeremy's house the weekend before t-day and we went to Milwaukee to visit my cuz Zoey the weekend after t-day. The actual day of Thanksgiving we were in La Crosse with my mom's extended family. Let's just say, its a good think I get a set amount of formula through my tube, cause I am pretty sure everyone else over-ate their share of turkey.

Then finally, since everyone has picture of their Christmas trees...... this is our Christmas tree. We are still in renovation chaos, so no room or place for a tree. This is what my mom came up with for now. She is still hopeful that we will have a kitchen before 2014 rolls around. My dad has finished the flooring, my mom and dad finished the painting. We are still waiting on the bathroom (the tile is done but no toilet or sink in place yet), the trim, the electrician to finish up some final touches, the doors to be put up, the sheet rock guy has to fix a couple places on the ceiling, our kitchen, and my ramp. Wow, you write it out and it sounds like a lot more than I was thinking. All I know is my mom is sick of washing dishes in the itsy bitsy sink in the bathroom/laundry room and then walking the out to the living room to dry on our kitchen table. Soon....
