Headed downtown for a day of trains at the Duke Energy center around noon today. We were pleasantly surprised to see Santa there too! Brooklyn waved to him, & since she sat on his lap last year, I figured this would be a breeze.....until we got up there for her turn & all she did was death grip my neck! Finally, we scooted back about 5 feet & I knelt down by her & said " Brooklyn, you need to sit on Santas' lap & tell him what kind of Christmas presents you would like since you've been a good girl this year." She turns & yells over to Santa: "I WANT TRAINS!" LOL.
A short line for ice skating gave everyone time to mock mommy for dressing her child like the poor little kid in Christmas Story (Maaa....I can't put my arms down!!) Ok, so she was bundled, but I cannot help the puffiness of snowsuits! :-) Ice skating was a blast for some...ok, B & Noah! Aydan wimped out on the cold, Q went a round or 2 after being a wall hugger, & the ladies suffered sore backs after leaning over to hold up a 2 year old wearing size 8 skates since that's the smallest they had (she's in a 5) but smiled & giggled the entire time, not wanting to come off the ice! Hopefully, everyone recovers easily, b/c I'm sure we'll have a video game marathon on Christmas day!
