It's a most wonderful time of the year

Oh my we are in full holiday swing here at the Haukland household.  Last Sunday was the church show and Samantha took her role to heart by watching over the Baby Jesus and never looking anywhere else. She loves being an angel and can't wait to do it again next year.  Grandma Phil has joined us for the last couple years now and includes going to the Diner afterwards. Interesting enough she saw Santa at both Church and the Diner.

She also got a chance to see gal pal Brea before the holidays and they both were silly with glee over the impending holiday.  Our dear lifelong friends, Angie and Dan, are visiting from over the pond and their beautiful daughter Lola loved hanging out with Samantha.  Samantha keeps asking for a baby sister but got a tish jealous about the attention Lola received from us. Reminded me of the days she did that with Brea and now it rarely happens.

Samantha is over the top about Santa Claus this year and is expecting the Li Shang doll to be in her stocking along with some Angelina Ballerina books. We are also surprising her with a doll house compliments of us and Grandma Jane and Grandpa Booney. Hoping that the latest storm in MN does not hold up their flight as we have one very excited Grandchild who cannot wait to see them.  Merry Christmas to All!!
