It's December 23rd, and most of you are snuggling into your Christmas peace. Not at our house! As a gaggle of girls, the 5 of us headed to the mall last night. James had a bunch of work to finish up. He bowed out gracefully as he handed me fistfuls of cash.
Truth be told, he dislikes the whole "Mall Scene"....but he really had a lot of office work to enter into the computer.If you haven't seen it, the Oaks Mall is the prettiest mall I've ever seen. It just went through a gazillion-dollar makeover (to woo the new Nordstrom -I suppose), and it shows. It was a pleasure to walk around.
I only lost my Mom-patient Superpowers twice. That last straw was a doozy, and ended with a quick exit of the store (nothing purchased), and a more brusque dash to the car. Maybe I didn't get the message across to the 7 year-old?
Today we took James to a more comfortable shopping location. Everything went much smoother. Thanks, James!!
We still need that few hours to shop tomorrow, none-the-less.
Tomorrow we celebrate not only the birth of our Savior, but also the birth of our favorite 11 year old, panda-lovin' daughter! The next day is also James' birthday. James' parents will be driving through forecast rain to be with us.
That is a LOT of celebrating!
