Every day, Helena gets more and more into the Christmas spirit. What with things like Santa's Birthday last week and going to the Nutcracker with her auntie over the weekend. What's that you say?? You've never heard of Santa's Birthday?! Well, for those select few who believe put one of their shoes by the door before they go to bed at night, this year we made a birthday card for the old fart too. When you wake in the morning, you'll find your shoe filled with goodies to get you excited for the festivities to come this month. As if you weren't excited enough already as a kid.
When I was a kid, I remember always trying to find the biggest shoe I had, so Santa would have to fill it up just that much more. Helena is my spitting image. Her boot was HUGE! And as you can see, Santa was no slacker.
Topping her list is a turtle, which she has been begging for repeatedly over the past year. Recently in school, the class was visited by a reptile expert who brought live creatures in for the kids to see. Upon telling this to me, Helena reported, "He had lots of animals. Snakes... iguana... but here's the bad news... NO turtle!" Since she's been so good, there's a good chance that Santa may get her that turtle this year. But let's just keep that between us.
Until we find out for sure what will be under the tree, I will leave you with some video of Helena's rendition of a Christmas ballet.
