That was an almost sad reality in our house this year. Our sweet angel is starting to grow his devil horns. Its getting more challenging every day, but.. like they say, noone said this would be easy. Honestly, I have to say we are blessed, because he really is a great kid over all, he just has his days... one of the worst being X-mas eve day. Holy lord... we were pretty convinced that no Santa in the world was going to be bringing presents to kid who could act so terrible. all. day. long.
BUT... the end of the day came new attitudes, and after a heart felt letter written by Elliott to Santa, Santa arrived with some special things for that usually cheery, smiley little dude of ours.
Papa made it out a few weeks before Christmas, whoch was just wonderful I think it had been a year since he had been abl e to make it out, and I knw we were all missing each other immensly. It was so good to catch up, and Elliott and Papa got along like they had been hanging out together all year without a day missed.

- ELLIOTTS 4th BIRTHDAY! -
We celebrated Elliotts b-day on the 31st. It was a small gathering and pretty low key. He had fun though, and all he was really interested in was his Thomas the Train cake. He had been talking about it almost all year....
New big bed for a big boy!
He was pretty excited about the Lincoln logs
It was a busy holiday adventure, and I have to say, I am glad the chaos is over, but, occasionally when I look outside at the falling snow, I kinda wish it was Chrsitmas day again.. just for a few more hours....
