I can't recall the last time I posted this much in such a short time, but the holidays seen fitting for jotting down fond memories.
We actually got out as a whole family. We took the kids to see Santa at the mall. It went better than I imagined it would. I was ready to give up on the idea, but I am glad that Kari insisted on going. I figured that we would stand in line for hours (we did) and the kids would all be crying (but they didn't) and we would have a photo of all four kids screaming in terror, sitting on Santa's lap. I was impressed with their behavior. They must have excellent parents.
I especially enjoyed watching Jordan and Madison holding hands in the stroller. They were making eachother giggle much of the time we where waiting. I don't want to forget that. I asked Reagan to stand next to Rylee for a photo and she instead gave her a big hug. I want to remember that too.
The house isn't as clean as we would like for family showing up, but we are done with the cleaning for today. Done for a couple of days, probably.
All the kids are totally buying the big Santa lie. I really wonder how long that will last.
