Santa Success and More News

We went to visit Santa at our town's Christmas Stroll last night. I prepared Evan by telling him that he could sit on Santa's lap to tell him what he wanted for Christmas (Buzz Lightyear, by the way). He seemed OK with it, that is until we got close to our turn. Evan informed me that he was not going to sit on Santa's lap, he was just going to stand by him. Then, a little boy who went just before us started crying just as he was placed on Santa's lap. Evan told me, "That baby is crying. I am not going to cry. I am a BIG BOY." Last year, our youngest spent .000000001 second on Santa's lap. This year Evan sat on the big guy's lap for as long as we wanted. That is PROGRESS!

The 4 Nosek kiddos (hat-heads and all) with Santa--Wow, was it a cold night!

This is why we always turn off our Christmas tree lights. Our firefighters did a controlled Christmas tree burn that made quite an impression.

A local bank set up a life-sized Candy Land game. What a fun night!
Finally, if you are following our Christmas lights news story...MSNBC ran it, as well as the Daily Mail over in the UK! Click here, or more specifically here, for a link to their article.
Yahoo.com picked it up too...How funny to open my email and find this...(Click for a close up.)

Our 15 minutes of fame...

This is CRAZY! The man who wrote the article about our neighbor's display and our "Ditto" sign forwarded the picture and article to People magazine. They will be putting a little something in their next issue! Wild.

It was picked up by the 5:30 NBC 5 news and Yahoo.com too.

And yet more news...

NBC5 just published an article about our Christmas light display...click here to check it out! The kids are going to be so excited!

More Noseks in the News

If you look closely (or click on the picture), you can see our scouts in the bottom left hand corner. For their scout service project this fall, the boys helped to clean up our local train station. Good job Henry and Seth!

I'm going to bed.

I'm sitting at this computer...trying to find some fun picture to post, or to think of some sweet story about the kids, and I'm coming up with nothing. I am sure that there were many sweet moments today, but all of the Christmas shopping and decorating has definitely caught up with me.

Good night!

What to do when you can't compete...

Our neighbors put up the most AMAZING Christmas light display outside, in both their front and backyard. The kids are absolutely GAGA over it. Dave and I love it too, especially because we all can enjoy it without having to put up any of it. :) Kudos to you, Chet and Marjorie!

Happy December!
