attitude, never too much.

Some days I wonder if Willaert girls have too much attitude!  These are random pictures from our Christmas vacation.  Gabrielle tried to implement a Pajama Day.  Unfortunately, they all woke up early to start the day off right.

Lucia pouting at me about something, too bad she and I don't remember what it was about.

should have hired a professional!

Lucia had her Christmas program last week.  I was there with the kids and our two favorite grandparents from Rochester, Bill and Dona.  Luke was the designated photographer.  Why you might ask...no idea, cause he wanted too.

So enjoy the story Luke's pictures tell!  Not the story we meant to capture but the one that we still laugh about! 

Yup- Lucia was there.  Her Head is the little brown blob on the far left!  She was so cute!  Luckily, her friend Anthony is picking his nose and blocking the view of his face!  Nice close up of Lukas' finger though!

Please note- the captions are just my opinion and not the actual thoughts of the person in the photos.....

Mom- "Hi Lukas!  You are doing Awesome!  Try to get some pictures of Lucia!"
Sadie- "This Christmas program is interesting.  Don't bother me."

Sadie- "Wait, what is this?"

Sadie- "Oh a call!  How Pleasant."

Sadie- "Oh goodie, what great news!  Now if only my fingers weren't so pudgy...Texting on these silly prepaids is such a hassle."

Sadie- "I wish I had a bigger screen to text, text to speech would be nice."

Sadie- "oh yay!  Finally the climax of the show."

Sadie- "Please no paparazzi"

We are still out to lunch on the desicion if we will re-hire Lukas again!

Santa and the People-

This is from just after Thanksgiving.  We visited Santa at River Hills Mall in Kato.  Santa was amazing.  He reminded the kids to have their rooms clean so he wouldn't trip on anything.  He also told them to help mom keep things tidy and nice.  Santa also reminded them to leave a BIG plate of cookies and milk for him.  Looks like lots of kids have been listening to this Santa- there was barely room for Sam to cling to Santa's side.  Sadie was screaming but her head is down so you can't really tell that well.  I just noticed gabs has her hand on Santa's boot- weird?!

Sam's Pure Bliss

Yup, More pictures of Sam- he is the only one that holds still long enough for me to snap a picture of.  Sam got his 3 RSV vaccine for the season!  Next time he will be so big the dose will be in 2 shots!  Poor guy!  As you can see in the first picture he is enjoying his FIRST EVER Tuesday night Vikes game!  He really enjoys his recliner.  Sam is also sporting his FIRST EVER blue jeans.  He had to get get them out since his girl friend EmmaLyn was modeling some super fashionable jeans today.  Sam was slightly jealous!

Sam's other guilty pleasure is Nerf guns.  As you can see Nate is sharing his favorite gun with Sam.  I am not sure how Sam is going to carry that gun around since he has a hard enough time lifting his head.

So this week with all the kids home I am going to ATTEMPT to get pictures of the other people that live around this place! 

Sam Laughs

Sam was laughing it up when we put him in his car seat this afternoon.

Guess he laughed a little too hard....  Tomorrow he starts physical therapy for his neck and head.

Baby Jesus-

Sam as Baby Jesus!  He did great at the night performance.  He even made a little noise but not too much.  I heard a few people talking about how "baby Jesus" was talking.  Before the performance Sam really enjoyed smiling at the cow.  Might try to get her as a baby sitter sometime.

Gabrielle singing with her first grade class. You know they are the BEST singers, or so reminds me.  Personally, I think she has one of the best smiles.  Stitches are gone and she is looking better than ever.  Tomorrow is the last day of school for the year.  Can't wait for Christmas vacation. 

One more for today!

We are off to the Christmas program for Lucia's preschool class. It is one of my most favorite programs ever.  The kids walk in sing 3 songs and then we all eat oreos and lemonade!  Mrs. Schollmiere and Mrs. Griffin run a tight show and I LOVE IT!  we are in and out of there 25 mins TOPS!    These pictures are mostly for Jackie in New York!  I know she could use a good smile and the pictures of Lucia should remind her of a crazy Natalie!

Here is the outfit Lucia wanted to wear:  I like to call this the "Natalie look"

Here is the outfit she ended up wearing!  Black Velvet and shinny high heels is always the way to go!




Just so you don't think I am smothering her creative unique personality.  Lucia did wear the "Natalie" look to sing carols at a nursing home on Tuesday night, with a wind chill of -30.  She was the best looking one in the whole bunch.  Although I must note the show was stolen by Lukas and Sadie when they started wrestling in the front of the room during the song "We Wish you a Merry Christmas".  No kidding it was a down and out brawl....Sadie held her own.

And a picture of Sam for shits and giggles!
