Yup, the season has already begun in our house. I have my nails painted red. There is festive music on the radio and I have broken out the Christmas socks. It is the most wonderful time of the year!!! 🙂
Actually, I was a bit surprised about the music thing. Pleasantly surprised but still surprised. I mean, we are not putting our tree up until next weekend during the Santa Claus Parade. I was even more surprised to see that Bass Pro Shop already has their Santa. Well, visiting Santa at a place where you can finish up some Christmas shopping and do some activities sounded like a great way to fill a Sunday afternoon so off we went. The girls wrote letters to Santa, played with bows and BB guns (Katrine has now added a pink BB gun to her wish list…can you say NOT gonna happen. That said, Katrine was much more successful hitting targets with the gun than foam arrows. She killed the floor again with the Nerf arrows but hit the bird, bear and raccon targets with the toy gun. Elspeth successfully hit a duck with her arrow…with a LOT of Glenn help that is.) and of course visited with the big guy. It was a big day. This year Elspeth allowed Santa to lift her up for the photo!!! I had to stay near by but it is the first time that I am not actually in the photo. A happy mom today.
If you can’t read Elsepth’s sentence, she has decided that she needs a Hello Kitty camera and is quite set on it.
The girls loved the mailbox with the talking reindeer beside it.\
Sometimes a girl just needs Baba’s help.
