Here comes Santa Claus..Here comes Santa Claus....BUTT CLOSE IT!

Tell me if this isn't neat-SANTA CLAUSrandomly stopped by our house Sunday! The boys Cade was really excited and shocked, he just sat there in awe and he had this little twinkle in his eye that you had to see to understand. It looked somewhat like this (and may have had something to do with their being a cute girl in his presence as well):

This was obviously a prearranged meeting as I know Santa fairly well.  You could say he is (like) my Daddy.  As Santa piled out of his Chevy Tracker (reindeer were "resting" for Christmas next week of course) and walked into our garage and into the house all of the neighbor kids stood at the top of our driveway in utter disbelief, more likely than not followed by complete rage.  I felt a little guilty but I could not help but laugh because they literally stood out there in the freezing cold (it was snowing, thanks Santa!) staring into our garage for like 15 minutes.  They probably went home so mad wondering why Santa came to our house but not theirs! 

As you can see, Jude and Madden are less than impressed-especially Madden, if he would not have been crying and kicking to get away Jude may have been a little more open to exploring the beard and such.  I mean I had to pull some strings to get Santa to do a special appearance and this is the thanks Madden had for me:

In other We Feed Three news, the twins are starting to talk a little more. They talk to each other-which Jesse and I don't typically understand, however last night Jude made sure that he was loud and clear in telling Madden to "CLOSE IT" because he was in the candle cabinet. Obviously Mommy and Daddy have to say CLOSE IT way too often!  Daddy was at work and was so excited to hear the news so first thing this morning he woke Jude up and told him to say close it, and much to Daddy's amazement he said it.  Jude also now says butt.  Heaven forbid they learn the necessities like milk, juice, thank you, please.  Our children prefer that, close it and butt for now.  Otherwise they just point and grunt which is getting really old, really fast!  And in closing, a new photo of Jude and then Madden:
