We Saw Santa Claus!!

Caleb and Lorelei on Santa's lap! This is the first time the kids have ever been to the mall Santa and if you can believe it...Caleb was a bit apprehensive about it! After he saw that it wasn't scary he was perfectly happy to sit on Santa's lap and give him a gift suggestion or two.
Once we were done with Santa we strolled over towards Lorelei's favorite Christmas tree and once again, pictures in the little face cut-outs. Better ones because I specificially brought my camera along for these very pictures. The one above is Dad with the kids and the one below is me with the kids.

This is the coveted mall Christmas tree. As you can see I didn't even really get the whole thing in the picture. It's MASSIVE! Lorelei wants one at her house when she grows up.
Of course, the kids always need to throw a little pocket change into the wishing well...
And Lorelei had to show me which sized ornaments she likes best.
Dad got creative and tried to get her smiling face in the ornament. It kind of worked out alright!
After we were done with our Santa visiting and picture taking at the mall we went over to Old Country Buffet for dinner. It's a win-win because the kids can pick what they want and so can the adults. No one goes home hungry! After dinner the kids made up some ice cream treats. Don't they look scrumptious?

The End. Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Just Two More Sleeps


Just two more sleeps til Santa comes.
Just two more sleeps.

I'm so glad that both Caleb and Lorelei still believe in the magic of Santa. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside to see that magic in their eyes. It just makes me feel good and it keeps the magic of Christmas in my heart too.

Tomorrow we go to Grampy & Grammy's house to spend Christmas Eve with Daddy's family. And then, at some undetermined (as of yet) point we'll trek north to spend a few days with Mommy's family.

Just two more sleeps.
