Last weekend Todd and I took Reed to see Santa at the DRC. My mom came up and my sister brought the twins. We all headed out to eat some yummy pancakes and sausage then get our pictures taken with Santa! The twins were the perfect age and had a great time. They got to see Santa, make a craft, get a Rudolph tattoo, AND win at least 5 candy canes in the "cake" walk. Reed was a Holy Terror! He had to wait a little too long to see Santa so in the "down" time he opened some other child's Christmas present, ran all over the activity room at the DRC about 58 times, destroyed some other (not our cousins', whew!) child's tongue depressor snowman! That brought tears from the child (not from Reed). Mommy did some quick repair, but the little boy saw Reed throw it across the room. I know what you are thinking, and yes his mother and father were watching him, but we thought we had found a safe, non-destructive zone. Only to find out that this poor child had laid their craft project on the stack of folding tables in the farthest corner of the room to dry. His Mommy probably thought that was the safest place...she hasn't met the Hacklemans! Reed also got to play with Dalton Hornback. Dalton's mom Kori is Reed's babysitter and Dalton and Reed achieve daily mischievous acts. What a classic impromptu photo of them high fiving each other! Makes you wonder what they are up to...Have they really been that nice, or just a little bit naughty?

Oh, I feel for you honey!! That all just makes me giggle. I want to tell you it gets better, but I'm still waiting so we'll wait together! :) I can't wait to get the little turkey's together and WATCH OUT, Kalo too!!!

Take care and get some sleep! This is what life is all about....fixing the damages from our boys! :)
