Christmas -- the busiest time of the year

It seems like everyday is busy, whether it's wrapping gifts (not fun), baking cookies (fun til clean up), going to parties (always fun), or shopping (fun til you deal with the whack jobs at Kohls). But today we were at the mall and we saw the train!


Just so you know, Bo gets to do all the fun stuff while Slone's at school.....really! Slone wanted you to know that.

Then I snapped this pic...



He's looking at the lady who was asking me if he was shy or ornery. Ha! Lady, if you only knew!

Then, of course, the reason I wanted to avoid center court of the mall as a young child, Santa! Bo was really excited about seeing him. Much better than the last time we saw him. Bo wasn't even born yet and Slone was the child screaming bloody murder at him.


I realize that he looks like he's not having fun here. But, believe me, he was pretty impressed. Dear old Santa, though, had his eyes closed in every pic but this one.

You'll have to excuse the pic. I took the lazy way out and emailed it to myself off of my phone!
