Even though it was Connor’s first Christmas (and he had a good day, as far as I could tell), the day was really about Cailee. For the first time, she seemed to get it. She knew it was Jesus’ birthday, we even sang happy birthday. She also knew all about Santa and while she wasn’t…
I’m multitasking right now as I write this post – mostly because I can’t stand to waste a minute of time – that’s why I always interrupt people and have a hard time sitting still long enough to get any one thing done at a time (I know this is where Cailee must get it)….
So JJ, aka “Santa”, was putting together toys tonight – and Connor was still awake. So he saw his Christmas gift early and it was too tempting not to take him for a spin. So he got a test drive, before we hid it. I think he likes it. Now the real trick will be…

So Cailee had her end of the year/Christmas performance at her school today. She was great! If I ever had my doubts about her feeling comfortable performing in front of people, they were squelched today.
