The Van Ordens: Santa and School Parties

What a busy week we have had! We started the week out with Brandon leaving for Singapore last Friday so he has missed all the excitement! Last Saturday we went to 2 birthday parties, a stop to see Santa, and an SEC Championship game to watch! What a great day! Auburn won, woooooohooooo! War Eagle! We'll be going to the National Championship game in Arizona. We aren't actually going, but the Auburn Tigers are! Way to go Auburn! Our neighborhood had Santa stop in for a visit. The kids had fun making crafts and telling Santa what they wanted. Carter asked Campbell to ask Santa to get him a bike so that he could ask Santa for a motorcyle! I guess he is trying to work the system! So Carter did request a motorcyle, which no, he will not nor ever get and he asked for a swing set, but more specifically, a swing set with no spider webs - ha! I don't think Campbell asked for anything but at least she did not scream and cry so I consider than an accomplishment! On Tuesday the kids woke up sick, Carter had pink eye and Campbell had a terrible cough which after waking from her nap with a 103 temp, rushed her to the Dr. before they closed, we found out she had an ear infection. Thursday brought Carter's Christmas Musical at school and both kids had parites. Thankfully their classrooms are across the hall from each other so it wasn't too much trouble bouncing between the 2. Whew, I am tired and ready for Brandon to get home! All in all, it was a pretty good week starting off the Christmas season.

Before we went to see Santa we had a little practice photo shoot! Seemed to work!
