| We put the Christmas tree up a few days before Thanksgiving. Had it in the basement again this year. Next year we will for sure have it upstairs, since we just don't spend as much time down there. |
 |
| I really love our tree! It is so pretty and glittery. Worth all the glittery mess that happens when putting it up. |
 |
| The kids were great helpers. I tried my best to not let my desire for perfect symmetry get in the way of their creativity! They had so much fun. |
 |
| Hanging out at the mall, waiting for Santa to get back from lunch. |
 |
| Malia had just told Santa what she wanted, and then Santa turned to Riley to find out what he wanted. Malia looks confused because, as we found out later, she thought she would get her present right away! |
 |
| Fist bump! |
 |
| Who lets their kids play on the escalator?????? They rode this several times while we were waiting for Ben to finish up his conversation with a guy selling RC helicopters at one of the kiosks. Soon I will need to break down and buy one for Ben....he had a looong conversation with this guy. |
 |
| My mom got the kids this cute gingerbread house set. I'll post a picture later of the kids eating it. Oh and there was plenty of snacking during the making of this little house. |
