Santa Claus

Is Santa Claus really worth it? Let me explain. I was not going to take Ella to see Santa Claus at the mall because waiting in the line for at least an hour with her would be a complete nightmare, especially considering she really does not care to see a fat man in a red suit. I finally gave in though and decided to take her. I was off from work on Wed. and thought maybe it wouldn't be too bad. Well, I was wrong. Some crazy mom thought this was her personal Santa Claus and chose to have a wardrobe change for her 3 children! After waiting almost an hour it was finally our turn. I looked like a wet pig by this point because I had been holding Ella for the past 45mins and it was burning me up. Of course, she would not stay in her stroller. Then I go to sit her on Santa's lap and she is amazed at his big white beard. Come to think of it, she has never seen a man with facial hair. She kept trying to pull it off! She loved him. She even laughed for the camera. So, I guess Santa was worth it!!

We stopped by to visit Ella and Julie after seeing Santa Claus. Julie is growing into a sweet little girl and was giving Ella and I kisses. Ameilia will sure be loved by her big sister.

Brad also wanted to make sure I shared a picture of Bailey chewing on his Christmas present. It was a Michael Vick chew toy. See ya in 22 1/2 months Mike!

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and I will update you after the holiday!
