Ho, Ho, Ho...

Today was the big day - we headed off to see
Santa. Before meeting the big guy, we went
to the Story Time Castle where each room was
decorated in a different theme featuring a
different book.

Lindsey ready in pink with a "winter
white" purse. Not what I was hoping
for in terms of outfits to meet Santa but
David got them dressed
this morning and he is much nicer
than I am and let's them pick their
own clothes.


Molly in her Justice shirt AGAIN and
wearing her too small coat even though
she has two other coats that fit her. Guess
she was going for the 3/4 sleeve look.


Ready to meet Santa - kind of.

The girls at the Storybook Castle.

You are probably wondering why there is no

picture with Santa. We did remember our

camera, just didn't realize that the Santa

we went to see allowed for no photography

from the parents. They took the pictures, and

for $17 you could buy a 4X6 picture of your little

ones on Santa's lap or in his workshop. We are

cheap, but we're also suckers so we did splurge

for the less than fabulous Christmas picture

with Santa. We just can't pick it up until next

Thursday.

Just visualize Molly in her Justice shirt

rather than a smocked dress, and Lindsey in her

purse shirt and jeans rather than a matching smocked

dress. Oh, and no bows which is considered CRAZY

in South Carolina. We were surrounded by beautifully

dressed children with larger than life bows, and I'd be

lying if I said I wasn't envious of those mom's standing

over their daughters fussing over their hair to make sure

their bows were positioned just so. Oh, and to really

make it a perfect Christmas moment, Lindsey covered her

face with her hands and lifted her eyes only once to sneak

a peak at Santa. Not a Norman Rockwell moment but

it was a fun family outing and it was very Cerra style.
