Santa Visit

Yesterday we went for bridesmaids and flower girl

dress fittings~ then to see Santa and a little shopping.

We stopped in a new store~ Charming Charlie

and SJ found a cute lip gloss that she loved.

I usually let her carry something around

and put it back at the last minute.

As we were walking through the mall,

I noticed she was putting lip gloss on~

Oh no... we forgot to put it back

so went back later and paid for it.

We made it to see Santa~

EK was still very shy with him

but SJ went right to him and wasn't scared at all.

He did most of the talking and they just nodded.

We shot a few sweet pics.

And when the visit was complete,

both girls walked away...

SJ turned around to look at Santa one more time

then went back for a hug. :)

The little girls wanted to ride the carousel

while the big girls shopped.

EK rides the black horse EVERY time~

she loves it.

SJ just rides the closest one to EK. ;)

They would have ridden 10 times if we had let them.

We ended the night with a yummy meal @ PF Changs

and looking forward to our next visit with Santa.

The Best Thanksgiving!

We had one of the best Thanksgivings ever. Scott and the girls were all home. We did some shopping, lots of cooking and eating, movies (theater & rentals), reading, football, and just hanging out by the fire. On Wednesday, we met Scott in Atlanta for dinner and a visit with Santa. EK was still a little Santa shy but the girls did a great job encouraging her to share the list. So excited about the picture... don't you know???



Thanksgiving was a day spent eating and hanging out with family.



So much to be thankful for... when I stop to think about them all it just boils down to one thing... LOVE! Christ loves me and it is through Him I am surrounded by the love of family and friends. I am so thankful for each of you!!!



Blessings,
