Ho Ho HO!

I know it is not even Thanksgiving yet but we always go see Santa Claus the day before Thanksgiving.  See, everyone else is busy getting ready for the turkey dinner or travel so there are barely any lines.  And I detest lines.  So, every year we are amongst the first in line to see the big man the day before turkey day.  And can I say how great Will is?  He is a teenager (15 and a 1/2!) and he will still go see Santa to make his Mama happy.  I'll tell y'all~ whoever marries that boy is gonna be one lucky girl!!!!

Kate and her American Girl "Katie" were very excited standing in line.  

 As you can see, Harry was more interested in his phone!

Kate told Santa she wants a sewing machine.  He was quite surprised by that request.  It is what she really wants though.  She has hopes of being a fashion designer.

I know this one above is blurry but I love Harry's facial expression:)

After Santa, we go let the kids eat whatever they want from the Food Court.  I think they love that because we rarely let them eat fast food.   Of course, we needed a few obligatory tree shots by the ice rink and food court...

Then after browsing in a few stores, they go to Dylan's Candy Bar for a treat!

I am so disappointed in my photos this year.  I just cannot stand indoor/mall lighting.

Here is a short video of them talking to Santa...

and here is the "mall shot"

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!!!!

We are about to partake in another annual family tradition...
watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and bake an apple pie for tomorrow!!!
