Becca asked Santa for a candy cane

Aunt Carol gave Becca & Mary-Gail their first candy cane (@ 5 days old!). Now here we are, 4 years later, and Becca's asking Santa for a candy cane.


We saw Santa at Trolley Square in Salt Lake when we drove to see the lights at Temple Square (Dec 10). Becca asked for a Candy Cane. He happily obliged and pulled a candy cane from his bag. Wow! Becca's wish was instantly granted. Mary-Gail asked Santa for a "pink present." Santa asked her if a candy cane would do. "Is it pink?" Well, then, hand it over Santa!


Christmas is almost here! Becca & Mary-Gail woke up to massive amounts of snow on Tuesday. We're talking m a s s i v e !! They were screaming through the house, "It's Christmas! It's Christmas!" and when I tried to explain that it's Christmas time, and that Christmas is actually on Saturday, they refused that truth and raced to the Christmas tree asking (more like telling) "We can open our presents now?"


Of the 4 presents that were under our tree, only 2 remain. Yes, we've already opened presents. How could I deny Becca & Mary-Gail's excitement and thrill of Christmas?! I let them open their present from their teacher, Miss Jamie, Tuesday morning. She gave them books! A girl after my own heart.
