| Mary the Christmas Elf |
So, after a more than three month long unintentional hiatus, the Yandek Family is back, having decided to make at least one more appearance before 2012 goes the way of the Dodo. It's not like you've missed anything since mid-August. To be honest, it's been kind of boring, Dad started a new old job, Mary had a second birthday, there were some holidays, other birthdays and, oh yeah, WE HAD ANOTHER KID! No big deal. It goes without saying that life has been hectic in the Yandek House of Estrogen. Rather than trying to cram all the happenings into one post, we're going to focus on the here and now and get everyone caught up over the next few weeks.

Although it's still November, today marked the official beginning of the Christmas season, as Santa paid a visit to the Yandek Ladies. Despite the fact that Libby and Mary were literally bouncing off the walls in anticipation of his arrival, they immediately went into socially inept mode when he showed up. It was like Ralphie in the department store trying to get Libby to say "Monster High Doll" or to get Mary to say anything. Catie, however, was just fine. She cozied up to Santa, won the award for "Best First Picture Ever with Santa" among the Yandek Ladies, and then puked all over the guy. He should not feel special in this regard. SHE PUKES ON EVERYONE.

The girls did warm up after a time, and they enjoyed the visit. Santa has been educated on what to bring next time he comes, he got some cookies for the road, and he left some presents and candy canes for the girls. It certainly was a great way to officially kick off the season, even though Libby did comment to Mom that this Santa was different from last year. Pretty astute for a 3 year old...

Christmas is going to be a lot of fun this year. Libby and Mary are really excited about the whole "package." They helped put up the lights outside, they helped decorate the tree and set up the nativity, and can't wait to help make and eat Christmas cookies. After cookies were made for Santa today, Mary took it upon herself to put a hurtin' on the finished product. Let it never be said that Mary got cheated out of something. Ever. Safe bet? Mary will dominate Christmas!
