Santa Baby!!

Yes we went to the mall to see Santa and Tessa was upset that she forgot her list. Jared looks petrified, or does Santa look petrified. Just what were you asking for Jared? Tessa looks like she is trying to figure out how she can sound convincing that "Really, I was a good girl!".
Jared being so tall looks like a 6th grader and Santa's got a lot of weight there on his lap. Jared told me "Mom, that was a real beard. I saw the whiskers coming out of his face" Whew!
They have a new carousel at this mall. A double decker one!! So the kids went to the top first time around and Tessa decided to go on the spinning teacup second time around. Someone behind me asked, "Are you going on there with her?" All that was going through my mind was, feeling ill and my head spinning around after getting off and having to walk through a noisy, busy mall and feeling like keeling over. "No, I'm sure she'll be o.k. by herself" I politely said. Jared had met a new friend so went on some horse , and horsed around with him. No pun intended. O.K. pun intended. blah.
Some little girl got on and sat next to Tessa and they spun around like crazy laughing their heads off. So I did videotape their screams. That was worth it.
It doesn't take much to amuse these kids.
