Killy is finally “getting” Christma! We went to a Christmas party at a friend’s house, and Santa Clause came to visit. Killy was really excited:
Ellie had the typical baby reaction:
But, it was so nice to get to just hang out with Santa, instead of the crazy scene at the mall. The kids all really warmed [...]
Yep, Killy said this today… Of course, he doesn’t understand that its a terribly over-used stupid celebrity phrase.
