Boredom = Family Time

We were very bored today. A luxury really during the holidays. We knew we had to get Munchi out because he had been hanging at the house too long this week, but we had no grand ideas what to do. Finally, I called a friend, who was not free to hang out but suggested something festive - going to a local outdoor mall and admiring the Christmas tree. So, off we went. And we had a BLAST! Munchi loved the fountains, and the Christmas tree. Most of all, he loved meeting Santa for the first time. He was not willing to sit on his lap, but thought it was wonderful to sit on Daddy's lap next to him. And Santa gave him a present after, which is a now CHERISHED coloring book. God bless the holiday season. I have always disliked Christmas, but having a child reminds you the reason for the season! What a blessed day :)

Looks like Fashion Island. DDT loves the Koi pond and loves jumping on the stones to the middle. Looks like you all had a great time! Did you notice all the dogs people bring? So bizarre.

Sounds like a wonderful "Family Day"! I can't believe it is almost December! Christmas is just days away! Where has this year gone?
