Today we had 2 Christmas parties to go to! First we went to Daddy's work and did all kinds of fun things. First Madeline sat on Santa's lap for a picture: 
She was such a good girl that she got a brand new book about Marley the Dog and little Marley stuffed animal. Then it was off to the Christmas Clown, who made Madeline a very special hat. After that we colored some Christmas pictures and sat very still while one of Santa's helpers painted a picture of Rudolph on Madeline's cheek. All of these fun activities left us feeling kind-of hungry, so we headed to the cafeteria for a few snacks - What a great party!
Then it was off to another party at our Realtor's office. It was so nice for Bob to insist that we come, even though we had already decided to build instead of buying - yep, that's right, we're building a house!!!!
We've decided to build with a custom home builder (Knoblauch Builders) in Shakopee :-) John Knoblauch is a family friend and got his start selling homes for Great-Uncle Marv over 15 years ago! Great-Uncle Marv will be doing all of the concrete work and giving us advice along the way. It's a HUGE undertaking, but we've just gotten so frustrated with our (seemingly unending) house hunt. We've spent the last year trying to find the right house for us and it just hasn't happened.
We've very excited about getting to help design the house that we want!
Santa was at this Coldwell Banker party too! Madeline thought it was a little strange that Santa was at 2 different parties in one day, but she still sat on his lap and told him what she wanted for Christmas.
She told Santa that she wants "Presents" for Christmas. When Santa asked what kind of presents, she very quickly replied "Blue Presents!". I think Santa should be able to handle that :-)
