Well, have been trying to post for a few days now - not sure why blogger is giving me such a hard time about uploading pictures lately.

We have been trying to get ready for Christmas in the Voakes house.

On Saturday we went to visit Santa at the mall. We went to the mall in Port Huron and can you believe that at 4:00 on Saturday afternoon there was no line. We only did a group shot with our own camera, we couldn't see paying $45 for individual pictures. We didn't have any criers this year. Although Annalyse wasn't the most excited she did visit hime but wasn't interested in sitting on his lap or giving him a hug (I think she was glad his lap was full from Meredith and Megan).

After the mall, we headed up to Lexington, a small twon a little past Port Huron. They were having an Old Fashioned Christmas Tree Lighting. There was a trolley ride, chestnuts roasting over an open fire, caroling, tree lighting, and Santa. The shops were also open late that night. It was a nice night and we had a lot of fun.





Sunday we went to the fire station for pancakes with Santa. All of the girls saw Santa again. Megan asked for bubble gum and the twins asked for "Ickey Ouse" (Mickey Mouse) toys. We then went home and took pictures for our Christmas card which should have made it to your mailbox, or if not they will shortly.

Well, I treid to upload more pictures AGAIN! but not working. Enjoy these ones!
