Santa and Super Heroes

Christmas 2011 is going to one to remember for sure. This is the first year that Mc actually "gets" all the fuss about Santa, Christmas lights and the "chocolate door" advent calendar. She has again found her love for The Grinch and graces us with the Who's song almost daily, "Welcome Crees-maws, bring your light". She has told anyone that will listen she is getting a doll house for Christmas and wasted no time in telling Father Christmas the same thing, the second her bum was on his lap ("she gets right to business doesn't she", he said). She loves the baby Jesus in the nativity and takes it to bed with her almost every night.

It has been fun getting gifts for her and talking about all the magical stuff of Christmas that you kind of forget as you get older. She is SO excited to leave cookies for Santa!


Here is their picture with THE original Father Christmas at the Dickens Festival. The same Santa I remember when I was little. Kingston looks a little off but Mc, was poised and ready!





My favorite part of the Christmas season is the mail! I have always had a small obsession with getting the mail and opening letters addressed to me. I love to open the mailbox and find 5 cards a day addressed to my family and adding them to the collection.






Now there was one card this year that still puzzles me. I had an appointment with this OB office when we first moved back to Utah and I have been on their Christmas list for two years (even though I never went back). Last year's card...a little weird but this year...judge for yourself. How on Earth they got these Doctors to dress up as Super Heroes, much less pose with names like, "Captain Jelly Fingers", we will never know. One thing is for sure, I would feel MUCH safer with Wolverine delivering my baby or giving me my yearly exam.

OH my word!! I don't think I could go to a Dr. that sent out cards like that. It makes you wonder.

LOVE the picture with Santa! Those are priceless- and HOW fun that MC totally gets it this year- I think it will be a while before I get all that fun with Declan dang it!

Oh, so weird. And I could be wrong, but that might have been a step in the wrong direction for them, career wise. Good thing you're not going to be letting them use their super powers on you...I might be a tad concerned, otherwise. Great Santa pic, BTW!

All I can say is GROSS. Pretty sure that card isn't going to drum up any new business. Your kids look super cute with Father Christmas.

I love that Mc is sitting on Santas lap. Brooklyn would not even go near him. Cute picture!

As for the Christmas card, "Jelly Fingers" ReallY? Is his super power to drop babies on the floor when he delivers. Wow! Hope all their patients have a sense of humor...or do they have patients?

There are so many things to comment on about that card, I don't really know where to start! I mean good for them for having a sense of humor about their job, but then again, that's one job that no one wants to hear any jokes about, right? And it's a little creepsies that they send out Christmas cards in the first place to patients. Like you're "part of the Jellyfinger family." Ewwww.

Very cute Santa picture.

Mr. Jelly Fingers saved my life! Yep that's my Dr. But lucky me they are still where I go for my check ups and I don't even get a Christmas card from them! Interesting!
Hope Vegas is treating you well! Grandma sd she gave you a box of something and that I could have some too! (Were you not going to tell me and keep them for yourself?!?! haha!) Love you!
