A Special Phone Call...
Joshua received a special phone call from Santa this evening. I think this was the highlight of the Christmas season!

The Highs & Lows...
We have been busy with lots of fun playgroups, and Holiday events around town the last couple weeks. We've gotten all of our shopping finished, the decorating done, and the only thing left on my list is the wrapping.
Wednesday night we went to Hartwood Acres Festival of Lights display. It was fantastic, and Josh was "so excited!!"
On our way home we were in a car accident, and hit by what we are assuming was a drunk driver. She was turning left out of a bar parking lot as we were driving past. After the initial impact, and surveying of damage, Scott and the other driver moved the cars off the road to let the traffic pass. The other driver decided it wasn't necessary to stick around to swap insurance information, so we have no idea who she is. Thankfully we weren't injured. The kids didn't even make a noise until after we had moved the car. At that point, Joshua just asked me, "What was that?"
Pictures of the damage. Her front end connected with the rear passenger door. Chelsea was sitting in that seat. I don't want to even think about what would have happened if she were going a little faster. The damage to the car was pretty severe - about $3500 worth. Our insurance is considering it a "no fault" accident since it was a hit and run, so we're only responsible for our $500 deductible... but that's still $500 more than I'm willing to pay for something that was totally not our fault.

December Already?
The last couple weeks have been a whirlwind of activity around here. We hosted Thanksgiving here at the house. Scott cooked - it was fabulous!
On Black Friday we went to the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum to ride a trolley with Santa! We all had a great time singing carols, and telling Santa what we want for Christmas. Joshua was thrilled beyond belief with the electric train layout, and being able to climb up on the trolleys in the Car Barn. You can see all of the pictures here: Trolley Museum - Santa Trolley.
We are preparing for Christmas around here now. We've gone to the mall to see Santa, rode the train there, and decorated the house. Joshua is very excited about the prospects of Santa coming soon. I'm not sure he understands he has to wait 3 1/2 more weeks... but I guess it will just make it that much sweeter come Christmas morning.
We have several fun things planned over the next couple weeks, we'll be sure to update. Don't forget to check out our "Elf Yourself" moving on the right side, too!

That's fall, folks!
We have reached the middle of November, and it definitely feels like fall around here. Halloween was SO much fun! We left a bowl of candy out for anyone stopping by our house, and took the kids to about 20 or 25 houses in the neighborhood. Both kids had a blast... especially after they realized that knocking on doors resulted in candy, chips and other yummy treats!
We tried to take advantage of what is left of the warm weather for the year. We made a trip down to Round Hill Farm, and spent as much time outside as we could.
With sunset coming earlier and earlier now, it makes things a little more difficult to get out. We haven't let that stop us though. We spent an evening playing in the leaves - in the dark!
Chelsea and I have been taking advantage of the time Joshua is at school, by attending playgroups specifically for little girls. Last week, we discovered Chelsea's Inner Diva at a Pinkalicious Party.
Mom celebrated her birthday last week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!! We went over to her house, and Amy made us dinner and a fancy, yummy birthday cake.
Since the weather has been questionable lately, we have moved our weekly walks to the mall. They have been busy decorating for the Holidays and Joshua is VERY excited about the fact that Santa is coming soon! They have a decorated Christmas tree, Santa's chair and the Holiday Express Train all ready to go for the big guy's visit. Of course they have the train set up right next to the play area, and every child that sees it begs their parents to let them ride.
We were not the exception.
Last year, I had to ride with them, because even though Joshua wanted to ride, he was scared. This year he practically jumped over the fence, and was very excited about the entire process. We strapped Chelsea into the seat next to him. She was a bit apprehensive about the ride, but tolerated it because Joshua was with her.
We spent this morning at the Children's Museum. Both kids had a great time, and are now peacefully sleeping. They always have a great time there.
With the Holidays coming, we have a lot of activities planned, and I will have much more to write about. Hopefully I'll be able to find the time to post!
As always, there are more pictures of everything we have done. The links to those albums are on the right side of the page.
