Ellie-Kate REALLY likes Santa!! 12/5/09
We just had a great time at the Lunch with Santa at the Athens Community Center! We ate pizza; the girls made crafts, and Ellie-Kate and Emmy sat on Santa's lap to share what they'd like for Christmas. (Emmy piped right up and said a guitar; Ellie-Kate didn't speak up, but we told Santa that we'd like a little kid bike.) After checking out the big guy, Ellie-Kate decided that she is a FAN! Emmy got on his lap, and Ellie-Kate climbed right on up and smiled for a picture. Afterwards, Ellie-Kate had to run back around five more times to give him a "high five." We had a great time at the lunch. (Meanwhile, Chelsea was selling trees for the athletic boosters, and Britti was playing around in Barcelona!)

Britti's trip to Ireland and Spain
Hi Everyone--
Britti is being quite the world traveler this year-- China in March and now Ireland and Spain in December!! She's visiting her friend, Laura, who is studying abroad. Just wanted to let all of the concerned relatives know that she arrived safely in Dublin but that her phone isn't currently working. (We'll be calling t-mobile later today to figure out the problem.) If you need to get a message to her, please e-mail or call me, and I can send a Facebook message or e-mail to her.
