Santa

Well we made it to the mall to see Santa Claus. Everything was going pretty smoothly, I got the girls in the car, stroller, and in the mall without a lot of difficulty. The one thing I didn't like was the amount of dirty snow in the parking lot that I had to push my stroller through....uggh but what can you do. So we did a little shopping and we were off to see Santa.

Santa was not too busy but we had to wait in a little line, which we did get cut off but since it was Christmas I didn't say anything. I know, I know the big double stroller with two kids is easy to miss and it would be very easy to not see us and just cut right in line. Anyways no big deal Teagan was very patient and liked to watch Santa..........however we go to sit with Santa and Harper first spits up on him (Thank goodness for that burp cloth I packed!!), and then Teagan starts screaming even though I'm sitting right next to her. Anyways here is a picture to enjoy :)

We made the most of our Saturday and went shopping for a Christmas tree. We have a Christmas Tree farm about 1/2 mile down the road from us right on the highway but unfortunately it's closed this season. (how can a Christmas Tree farm be closed for Christmas??!) Anyways we went down to Grundy Center where they had a nice little and I mean LITTLE Christmas Tree Farm. The people there were really nice and since it wasn't very big we had about 5 trees to choose from. Since Brandon's truck didn't want to start in this cold weather we were styling carrying it home on the trunk of our car. Thanks to Brandon's inventive way of using twine we are pretty classy folks!

When we got home we had an amazing visitor!! Chad a guy that works with Brandon dropped off an extra snow blower that he has to let us borrow it for a little while. Brandon greatly appreciates it since he had to hand shovel our driveway after the blizzard this week.

Now were settled in our warm house with the ornaments and lights on the tree, chili in the crock pot, and Polar Express is on tonight. Ah I love being home with my family on the Weekends :)
