Finn wants to tell Santa that he wants new boots for Christmas

He really doesn't like his current boots so I think he told us nearly 100 times that he was going to ask Santa for new boots for Christmas.  Can't wait to see him on Christmas Morning!  

Santa with the boys!

We had a very fun and very busy weekend with three different birthday parties for friends, four hockey practices, one school Christmas program, one basketball game, a hockey pizza party, and a Junie B. Jones Christmas play.  It was busy, but we all slept well at night.

Finn has a problem right now with his snow boots.  For whatever reason, he says they are "too tight." And, perhaps they are too tight although I think it has more to do with the fact that the front zipper is broken and they just don't work the way Finn wants them to work.  The boots have been a battle with him since we pulled them out when the weather started getting wintry.  So, in order to convince him that he had to wear the boots last week when it snowed, I told him that maybe he could ask Santa for some new boots.  Anytime he sees or hears the word Santa, he brings up his boots!  Naturally, when we saw Santa at Aiden's school program, Finn wanted to ask about the boots.  I am certain he thought he would get the boots right on the spot, so he is still a bit confused about the whole ordeal.

In reference to the cast on Charlie's arm in the picture above, we had a very unfortunate accident over the weekend.  We were with our best twin friends, Jack and Charlie and the boys were playing and dancing to a video on the T.V. as we were finishing Christmas crafts and preparing to decorate cookies.  Charlie fell while dancing and Luke tripped and fell on him.  As a result, Charlie ended up breaking two bones in his arm.  Needless to say, it was quite a scary accident that was quite upsetting for Luke and for Charlie.  Charlie ended up having surgery the following day to set the bones in place and he will be wearing a cast for a couple weeks.  He is thankfully doing well, but the entire incident is something none of us will forget anytime soon (including Finn who keeps asking if Charlie is o.k.).
