Did You Make the Nice List??

We ventured out to the Mall this afternoon.

The boys and Nana have all been sick with a nasty stomach bug...

it has not been fun...

But everyone is getting back to normal and we decided to

get out for a while and make a visit to see Santa.

If you say anything about Santa,

Jackson will bust out with a big

"HO HO HO Meeeeerry Christmas!"

It's the cutest thing.

Nana tried to pay Austin money to sit with Santa...

he declined...

He has never liked Santa...

the last picture we have of Austin with Santa is

when he was about 18 months old...

he wasn't looking at the camera...

he was looking at Santa as if to say

"Who are YOU?"

He never would sit with him again...

We are trying to get ready for the holidays.

Scott got all of the decorations down before he left.

The door is decorated, the tree is up--but not decorated,

and Ben and Jerry are standing guard in the foyer.

We are going to try to get the tree done tomorrow and

the Snow Village up!

I'm going to start decorating next year on the 1st of November!!!

Scott left this morning for his long trip in Michigan...

he said it's really cold up there...

it's fixing to get really cold down here...

they are even giving us a chance of snow tomorrow...

YIKES!!!

But ready or not the holidays are upon us...

we better get crackin'!

Hopefully we will be able to post some pictures of the

decorations up and ready to go in a day or two...

until then...

Ho Ho Ho!!!
