Last Saturday, Sarah and I hit the road bright and early with the boys to go see Santa at the mall. We got there by 9:30, before the line got too long and before the crowds got too crazy. I am not a fan of crowds. They make me anxious.
The line was really short, and we waited about 10 minutes to get to the front. Then Santa had to use the potty. So I took this while we waited a few more minutes.
Major cheese face . . .
I have this thing about Santa. I think he should smile. I think he should be cheerful, and I think he should talk to your kid for more than 2.5 seconds. And this one was awesome. I could see the line getting really long because he talked so much, but since we were early and didn't have to wait long, I didn't care.
Such a sweet Santa.
Anthony, did not want to sit in Santa's lap. He still believes, but apparently, in fourth grade, sitting in Santa's lap is equivalent to utter humiliation. He did talk to Old Saint Nick, but we were not allowed to take any pictures so there is no photographic evidence.
After that, we shopped a little and ate, and when it started getting insanely crowded, we bolted.
Saturday night, Patrick took Andrew to a birthday party, and I had a date with Anthony to see The Hobbit. Oh. My. Gosh. It was amazing. In Anthony's words, "It was the best movie I've ever seen!". He's a nerd like me. ;)
My date for the evening. Sorry it's crooked. My angle wasn't the greatest.
Sunday evening, the kids at church did a little Christmas play. Andrew was a shepherd, and a pretty cute one if I do say so. I may be a little biased . . .
Those shepherds' staffs were dangerous weapons. They were hooked around necks and arms and used as swords more times than I can count.
It was such a cute play. The kids all did a fabulous job.
And now I'm off to do laundry and wrap presents and try to get this house halfway presentable. Have a great pre-Christmas weekend!
