Here comes Santa Clause!!!!

After a fun day and a nice church service, we returned home to get ready for Santa's arrival. Christmas is getting to be SOOO much fun!!!!




Ta-daaa!!! Santa has made it to the Hartman's! Can't wait to see Chase's face when he sees all the new toys!


Chase slept good until about 1 in the morning, then he was up almost EVERY hour!!! I don't know if he was excited, or just exhausted. About the fourth wake up, I finally decided to let him sleep in bed with mom and dad (for the first time). He did pretty good and went right to sleep, although I don't think I ever did. Chase woke around 7:30, and the magic began!
He walked out into the living room and was so excited! He yells CHOO CHOO!!!!



Then he discovers the drums!


Back to the trains...



Hey look! I got some blocks too!!



Silly Daddy...


We went over to Gramma's for some dinner and dirty Santa. It was fun to see everyone, it had been a long time since we have all been together since we were snowed in last year!!!

Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve and Jill's birthday at my mom and dad's house. We had our traditional birthday/Christmas enchiladas which were DELICIOUS and opened lots of presents. It was a fun day!

Christmas Train with the cousins!

What a fun evening we had with my brother and Jill and nieces and nephew! We all had dinner at their house and then went to the Christmas train. Fun was had by all!

Hartman Christmas Weekend!

What a fun weekend we have had! Chase had an absolute blast this year at the Hartman Christmas. What a blessing it is to have this time when so many people can get together and enjoy eachothers company!

Is this close enough?? And do I have to look????





Oooookay that's good enough!








Chase was flirting with Summer all Sunday afternoon! He crawled up in the chair and just wanted her attention!
