We made our annual visit to see Santa up in Mantua last night. It was so cold! It think the temperature was somewhere around 16 degrees. We had Matt stand in line while we all waited in the car (poor Matt!!). So, just as in years past, it was a bit of a rush to sit on his lap and tell him what we want so we can make sure we're not holding up the line, and during the rush, we didn't get our group picture! I'm so sad about it! I can't even talk about it, I'm so sad!
Anyway, the kids were pretty good with Santa. Chloe told him she wants an iPod, Portie told him he wants and Angry Birds game and a Mario, Bubb told him the same as Port and also a computer and a big Denali and a lego set (he cried a bit-he wouldn't sit on his lap), and Avie just sort of stared-but she didn't cry. Then it was on to get some hot chocolate and a doughnut and chat with some family in Grandpa Halling's (which is now Aunt Lynette's) house.
And that was our Monday night.
And that was our Monday night.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who gets upset over 'little' things like not getting the family picture with santa. brad always tells me to 'chill out' but it's hard when you have in your head the way things are 'supposed to' turn out, and then they don't work that way. it still sounded like a fun night though. did you get a family pic afterwards? then you'll always remember it was on the day you saw santa. even if HE isn't in the picture. : ) i think we moms put a lot more pressure on ourselves than anyone else does, to document every part of our kids' lives, make every day fun, and have the most quality family time possible.
why is it impossible for me to leave a SHORT comment on your blog, huh?
