Despite Sydney being sick, we took the kids to visit Santa yesterday.  I had this great plan to have the girls (who I knew would sit on his lap) go first to reassure the boys.  However, it didn't work that way.  Tyler decided he wanted to go first, which really surprised me.  He didn't like the feel of Santa's beard so he tried to get some distance, but he talked to him.

 Zack knew exactly what he wanted.  When Santa asked, he said, "A bike and Diego."  He said thank you for his candy cane and moved on.

 Sydney totally forgot what she wanted to ask for (she hasn't slept much over the past few nights) so we had to send an email last night.  She was just happy to be there.

 Tansy asked for a new piggy bank (or "penny bank" as she calls it) since hers and Sydney's broke last week when Tansy decided to hang from the top of the dresser and pulled it over on top of herself.  Ben and I were in adjacent rooms so we got to her quickly.  She was scared but not hurt.  She had wanted to ask for My Little Pony, but the bank is her new priority.

 Merry Christmas, Santa!
