Jake took Rachel ice skating for their Daddy daughter date on Saturday. Rachel was ecstatic! It was her first time on the ice, and from the report she did very well and loved it!
It was actually a double date with Jake's friend from MBA school who came down with his daughter Cecilia for the day from Connecticut. They had a great time together.
Afterwards we enjoyed a fun evening doing sugar cookies and movie night
Last night my stomach started getting a sinking feeling with the sirens I was hearing in the neighborhood, until a neighbor of ours came to tell us it was Santa coming to visit. My kids went crazy! Even I was giddy and excited. It was a fun unexpected surprise.
It's times like these that make this time of year so magical...to see your kids' face light up like that. Sadly, afterwards we went to a dinner with some friends and on our way home Rachel was telling us how the kids were telling her that St. Nick has died and that there's no Santa Claus. It's fine if families choose not to believe, but I wish they could be better about keeping it to themselves. This magic only lasts a few precious years.

I love the pictures of Rach ice skating. She has the best surprised face/smile!
Seriously cute pictures of Rachie. And Tommy looks so great during movie night. I can't believe Santa just rolled through your neighborhood. So, so lucky!
Skating looks like a blast!
What a fun surprise!
The magic of Santa. Whoever said he isn't 'real'? He goes on forever, right? Glad he could unexpectedly roll through you neighborhood.
What the kids meant to say was that Santa goes into retirement after Christmas, but you better believe he works hard through Christmas day. I'm glad Rachie likes ice skating!
That is awesome!!!
love rachel's hat & scarf. so cute!
