This is a long post…I’m gonna post it right away…just for fun…
Ryan’s last day off work (though he’ll officially be off on Monday’s now) so we got lots done. I took Ella to get her hair cut! She has SO SO SO SO SO needed it. She twirls her hair and chews on it so it’s always ragged looking. Not anymore, folks! She’s now sporting a cute little bob…
We’re definitely going to start keeping it this way! Thanks, Heather!
We then rushed to the mall to meet Daddy so we could go meet Santa for the first time! Of course, we got there 9 minutes before Santa went on break (according to the sign) but the gates were already closed! Not wanting to wait an hour and knowing that we still had 9 minutes we jumped the gates and headed up anyway. They tried to turn us away but once I informed them I wasn’t there to buy their $35 photo they agreed there was time for a visit with Santa. Yeah!
Ryan tried to be sneaky and snagged some sideways video…at the end Santa asks if Sylvie can say Ho Ho Ho and she tells him he can if he wants to. I can not even tell you how excited Ella was!
After this, Santa went on break and we ran into him over by the water fountain. As he was walking away Ella saw him drop a penny and started yelling for him to stop, that he’d dropped his penny! I stopped her from running off but she was very distraught about the penny so after we finished up at the restrooms we went to find Santa, who was by that time in bliss somewhere hidden on his break. Ella was so upset until I let her know that she could simply leave it for him with her plate of cookies since he was coming by our house. She’s held tight to that penny all day and thinks he must have had a hole in his pocket. Since I saw one of his helpers drop a penny a few minutes later I’m pretty sure they were doing it on purpose but Ella is dedicated to getting it back to him. I sure love that little girl!
When we came out we discovered that a truck that had been parked across from me in the parking lot had rolled backwards while the driver was in the mall. Luckily (for me, not anyone else) the wheel was turned from parking and they crashed into the car diagonal from me…not directly into the front of my car!
That evening (after Dade woke from two days of illness) we make Gingerbread Houses for Family Home Evening!
Rest of the week coming soon!
