We had such a fun night last night! It was really needed too. We had a pretty rough day. We had to sit at Russell's cardiologist appointment for 2 hours (his heart is perfect!), then Connor lost his cool on the way home, Hunter and Kaylee were getting grumpy from all the activity and noise.... needless to say we all needed a nap. However, you haven't taken a nap in a couple of weeks. For a variety of reasons nap time got cut from our schedule rather suddenly. I decided to play my bribery card in order to get you to take a nap and save my sanity. I told you all if you took a nap we would stay up late and go visit Santa. You were asleep within minutes!
Daddy got home and I sprung it on him that we were leaving to see Santa before the store closed! Not his favorite way to come home, but he was a great sport! We loaded into the van and were off! We always go to Beaver Bark. We saw the reindeer and had a good visit with Santa. You all told him very clearly what you wanted; Hunter a keyboard, Connor a telescope, and Kaylee a flying fairy. The store wasn't busy so by the time we were done it was still really early. We loaded into the van to go home and Daddy changed the course. He decided we should go to the mall for Cinnabons. It was a rather great idea.
We wandered around the mall eating Cinnabons and pretzels, played at the kid zone, smelled candles and tested products at Bath and Body works, picked out some new pajamas, and just had a good time together. We even played a game where you got a point for every person you told Merry Christmas too. Kaylee was pretty darn adorable with her little voice saying "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" to complete strangers. Everyone she said it to just burst into a huge grin and said it back.
It was a good night. I'm glad I got to spend it with you. I love you!
Mommy
