Meeting Santa and More. . .

Today we made our annual trip to the Mall to visit Santa. Daddy met us there for the big event and we celebrated afterwards with lunch at the food court. This is the first year that Mackenzie willingly sat on Santa's lap, smiled and shared her wish list with him. She was very curious, while waiting in line, in regards to where Santa's sleigh was. I told her she should ask Santa, but she asked me too. . . poor girl didn't want to offend the Big Guy before asking him for a doll. By the way, in case you are wondering, his sleigh was back at the North Pole. He apparently was dropped off that morning and would be picked back up at days end to oversee the elf's progress at Santa's Workshop.

Here are a few pics, from this week, of Mackenzie and her neighborhood friends enjoying the cold weather outside. Regardless of how cold the temperatures have dropped, how ridiculously windy it is, or how early the sunsets, they do not miss an opportunity to play together. Trying to get all 7 kids into their homes for dinner is usually met with tears. . . but we wouldn't want it any other way. We are so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful playmates!
