Santa and Rudolph are coming to town!!! After a lovely Thanksgiving, we immediately set out to pick out the perfect Christmas tree! Me, Mama and Dada searched high and low for the perfect huge tree for our living room...and we found one! Meanwhile, Keevah Nyx was not happy about the big trees; she wanted one just her size! She kept begging for a tiny tree, and Gee & Grandpa of course got one for her! So now, Sissy has a "tiny tree" in her bedroom where we read bedtime stories and sing Christmas carols every night.

The past few weeks have also been packed with Christmas in Napa activities. We saw Santa - FOUR TIMES! The real one with a real beard! The first was at the Napa Christmas Parade. Second, at the tree lighting at Vista Colina resort in Napa. Third at an Italian restaurant where we also got to make some ornaments and drink hot cocoa. And finally, on the Santa Train! We loved visiting the North Pole on the Santa Train this year, and Nyx particularly enjoyed singing along with all the Christmas songs.

We are also enjoying our daily Advent Calendar treats...and trying to hunt for our Elves on a Shelf each morning. We are trying to be on our best behavior so the Elves don't tell Santa that we have been naughty! I have asked for Harry Potter Book 4, and a special request (only told to Santa himself!). Keevah Nyx has been begging for a puppy dog! Fingers crossed that we have been good enough to get our requests.
This is how our Elves arrived - on a ton of balloons!

Cocooned!
I also had my school Christmas concert. We sang some really fun songs for all the grown ups, and I think I got all the words right!
I'm super tall, so always in the back row, to the right.
This month, we also finally got to Tahoe again. We have been so busy with other travels, that we hadn't been up in several months. There was lots of snow on the ground, and I went skiing every day with Dada. I even went down Black Diamond runs again! Wooohooo! The best part of this year is that Keevah Nyx gets to ski with us. No surprise, but she was not scared AT ALL! She kept hollering "self do it!" at Dada whenever he tried to help her. I even took her on a few runs on the bunny slopes...despite Mama and Dada being a little nervous about this endeavor. We did great, and didn't fall at all!
