Christmas Stockings

Dear Elijah,

Here is Mommy reading to you Santa's note and then opening the Christmas stockings he left for you and Mommy.

Christmas Eve ...

Dear Elijah,

This is your first year of being in a divorced family.  We had to celebrate our Christmas early because this is your Daddy's year to have you for the holiday.   Thank goodness Santa was willing to come early to our house so you could open presents here too.

Here are a few pictures of the cookies and milk you left Santa and the note he left behind for you.

Hamburgers & Christmas Lights

Dear Elijah,

The other day we met up with some family friends (Joey, Nicola, Evan, Shane, and Nina) at the Habit Hamburger shop to have a little dinner before we all headed off to see all the Christmas Lights on "Candy Cane Lane" in Woodland Hills, California .

You had a great time ... hollering out the Jeep window "Merry Christmas Everyone", we stopped and bought fresh baked cookies from the Boy Scouts selling them to earn money.  Luckily all the rain stopped so we had an enjoyable evening.

Dr. Elijah

Dear Elijah,

Santa gave you a "Doctor's Kit" for Christmas and you are having so much fun with it.  You especially like the stethoscope because Nonna has one.    Here are a few pictures of you making Papa John feel better....

Cars on the Tree

Dear Elijah,

You were so excited to find out that Papa John's Christmas ornaments are muscle cars.  He has quite a few in his Hallmark collection.

Dear Elijah,

Here are a few of the Christmas presents you received from your Mommy.  Didn't she do a wonderful job wrapping them for you.

Santa Face Time's Mrs. Claus

Dear Elijah,

Here you are standing in front of the Apple Store display window watching Santa "Face Time" with Mrs. Claus... We just wondered what you were thinking...
