Here are some snapshots of the week before Christmas at the Dickson house.
We of course went and visited Santa, who happened to be spending some time at the Chico Mall! Kaelyn asked Santa for an art set, Jaren asked for a scooter and a race track, and Kenna didn't want to tell Santa anything, but as we walked away she said Santa probably knows she wants a scooter, too. Yep, Santa's pretty smart that way.
Kaelyn had fun performing with her ballet class at a local "Elderly Living Home" ( apparently they are no longer called nursing homes!) She did great and the whole family enjoyed watching her dance!
Buddies Jaren and Kenna waiting for Kaelyn's dance to start at the Elderly Living Home.
Kenna wasn't feeling well one morning, so she was laying on her bed instead of the usual running around with her best buddy, Jaren. Jaren and I walked by her room and she burst into tears. What's wrong? I asked. She replied, " That's why I'm crying, Jaren, because I miss you!" Drama!
The kiddos got a little creative with the dress-up bins and the chairs to the art table. The result? Santa and his trusty reindeer, Rudolph, of course! Kenna dressed up as a "princess Mrs. Claus" but had her costume (princess dress, knit scarf and santa hat) off before I could get a picture. 
Kenna loves to play with the nativity set. I like to I sneak by and listen to her act out the baby Jesus story and move the people around. And I love that she calls the wisemen, "the wise old man". You gotta love 4 year olds! (Ignore the date on photo-its not right, I have to turn that feature off of the camera!)
What fun pictures! Your kids are the luckiest kids on the planet to have such fun parents! The picture of Kaelyn brought back memories of Ashley dancing in Boise at the nursing home...Why is time going by so quickly?
