Santa Wishes!

Dax of couse like any kid his age loves to see Santa!  He got to see Santa several times this year.  There all kinds of different Santa. 

Dax's Santas Wish List:  First Dax started requesting from Santa a rocket ship that has a man in it and with a remote control.  I have no idea where Dax came up with this wish!  Santa started searching for this wish and he was kind of stumped.  I told Dax since he was really into Pirates that he might want to ask Santa for a pirate ship with pirates! Dax agreed and was excited about the change. 

Here are pictures with all the different Santas Dax took pictures with.

We had a special Santa visit our house!

Dax conversation...

Dax has been such a great sleeper up until we moved into our new house.  He wants to sleep with Don and I.  He will wake up some nights and crawl in bed with us.  He always comes to my side of the bed and I have to help him in the bed because our bed is pretty tall.  The other night I was putting Dax to bed and this is how the conversation went:

Dax: "I don't want to sleep in my bed."
Mommy: "Sorry, honey do you want me to get Spiderman for you?"
Dax:: "No, I don't want to sleep with fake people, I want to sleep with
real people!"

You have to love the honesty!  He is a pretty smart kid.  I would love for it to be OK for him to
sleep with us but I know once you get a kid in bed with you, you will never get them out!  BUT
my brother and I slept with Dad until we were in middle school and I think we turned out ok!

Merry Christmas from us!

I am just in love with the way our Christmas cards turned out.  My neighbor came over to snap a few pictures of Dax with a little idea I saw online.  I changed it up a little and what a cute kid we have!!

Christmas Time Already?

It's starting to look alot like Christmas at the Satterwhite's house!!  I was trying to think of a tradition for Dax so this year and for the years to come I will take him to Hallmark to pick out his special ornament each year.  This will be the fist ornament hung on the tree.  And this years pick was....Captain Jack Sparrow!



Dax has a love for pirates right now and especially for Jack!!

After the Christmas Tree was up and the stockings were hung we made our own Christmas ornaments.  I painted Dax's hand and put his hand print on the ornament to make snowmen.  They turned out really cute.

Mr. Snapper!

One Friday I stayed home with Dax and we had Mommy/Dax day.  He woke up for some reason determined to learn how to snap.  He spent all day snapping those fingers and trying to figure hot how to make it louder.  I loved his determination and he never gave up.  He indeed learned how to snap that day.  He even snapped so much he got a big blister on his finger from snapping so much.  He broke his snapper!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Don and I hosted Thanksgiving in our new house this year.  It was nice to have the extra room and both sides of the family together.  Don smoked two turkeys that were very juicy and turned out great.  Everyone pitched in and brought a dish.  I am not a very good Betty Crocker to cook all the fixings so it really helps out.

MeMe & Poppy's 60th Wedding Anniversary!

Don's Grandparents celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary.  We went to a neat place downtown called the Aquarium.  They have have rides, games and a Aquarium exhibit.  The food is great and it was a special evening for everyone.  They even got a limo to bring them to the restaurant.
