Priceless...

50 degree weather+ one cranky mommy+thousands of people pushing and shoving+one mommy that is going to blow her lid+$5 for pizza+ $2 for drinks+ $7 for light saber that will be broken tomorrow+ more waiting= a beautiful look on your kids face when they see santa land. PRICELESS!!!!!

Santa has landed. At that moment the look on my kids faces made me realize I would have probably done a lot more, because that look is a look of innocence, of believing. Sometimes we get so wrapped up we forget whats important. I just got a little reminder to stop, slow down, believe and appreciate.

So many people....













Today we met up with my parents for some yummy dinner, and a trip to the local little fair that they set up by the mall.
The kids had a blast. My dad even rode the bear with Tyler. I rode the carousel with the kids (seconds away from a huge barfing fest), no matter how much we tried to convince my mom, she wouldnt ride anything. Oh well! Ds won a blown up Diego and my mom got dd a huge butterfly spinny thing that she will probably go in a trance from all the lights. All in all a wonderful day. Tomorrow is the parade and I cant wait for. I love holiday activities :)

So how does Santa land? In a sleigh? Parachute? Plane?

Helicopter. And he "drove" it. I couldnt believe it. The kids were talking about it for days that they had no clue santa could drive a helicopter. I messed with my camera settings trying to get a good picture and they all came dark and out of focus. But yeah helicopter. Unbelievable!
