When Scott and I got married, what no one told me was that in addition to vast number of Wagy traditions, I would be expected to incorporated the Huschle traditions in my family also. One such tradition is St. Nick's Day. Had never even heard of it until Shelby Lou was born and my mother-in-law was appalled that I had "forgotten" DitzyDanzer's St. Nick's present. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about. The Huschle tradition is that on December 5 before heading to bed, you tuck your letter to Santa into your stocking and at some point in the night, Santa stops by, picks up your letter and fills your stocking. So each year I find myself backed into a corner and running around frantically picking up a few items at the last minute. A personal twist that Scott and I have incorporated is that each year on Dec. 6, in addition to the obligatory gifts, Santa leaves the kids a new ornament for our tree. I take finding the perfect ornament very seriously. I want the ornament to represent their lives for each year. This year I stumbled upon this bedazzled star for DitzyDanzer. She is after all our little star and ZMan got this adorable chubby Santa playing basketball. Take a guess what his sport of choice is right now...
Scott is dedicated supporter of the Hallmark ornament lines. This year he picked up a beautiful ballerina for DitzyDanzer (she's gotten serious about her Pointe and seems to be thriving in those classes) and Zman got his first Corvette (somewhere in the last 12 months, he's become obsessed with cars, talks about engines and such all the time).

But does he know what he is actually talking about?
(Noah will talk to you for 20 minutes about something he obviously doesn't have a clue about!) Personally this makes me giggle.
