santa time

so we went to visit santa this morning.  had the girls pictures taken on his lap.  it went way better than last year.  last year santa had to hide behind the chair and pop up for the picture, without marley knowing.  this year she was eager to sit on his lap.  she told me early this morning she wanted to show santa her pretty dress. 
i just think these are funny faces

we had a grsiwold family christmas today.  a comedy of errors.  our tree stand was jinky.  the tree kept lurching.  so, we put lights on it.  some how that didn't fix the problem.  we went to get a new tree stand.  walmarts sucks.  the tree stand we ended up with is majorly cheap and i will be surprised if it lasts until next year, but we did not want to keep getting in and out of the car with the girls.  once we got it home and transfered there was a moment of panic when the tree continued to tople.  but we got it all sorted out in the end.  just, you know, don't make eye contact. 
marley got an awesome early christmas present from grandma susie today. a  camera meant for toddlers.  she LOVES it.  she's already taken about 100 pictures.  it's digital, so i'll share some of them soon.  once we get all the hardware installed.  she mainly took pictures of herself, but she got some neat shots.  the world thru my toddlers eyes.  she always asks me, whenever we go anywhere, do you have your camera momma?  so now she gets to bring hers too.  she told ben i don't like flash.  i like real light.  funny the things they remember and repeat.
