I can't believe that Christmas Eve is already here. This past month has just flown by. It seems like yesterday we were putting up our tree and decorating the house.

Tonight we went to Jeff's sister's house to celebrate with the extended Sandberg family. The house was beautifully decorated and all of the kids were decked to the nines. It has come to my realization that the number of Sandberg girls severely surpasses the number of boys. You'll see by the pictures below.

Each year, Santa comes to visit. Last year, Aubrey sat on Santa's lap with no problems. Tyler on the other hand, cried...hard! We weren't sure what to expect but overall the kids did fairly well. Tyler was a little leery of the bearded man and his elf friend but by present 3 or 4, he was running up and grabbing his gift and running back. Aubrey was still fairly shy but agreed to see Santa if Grandma accompanied her. She, also warmed up and even gave Santa a hug before he left.

Let's see if Santa remembers and pays us a visit tomorrow!
