* A Fun Day and a Couple Surprises *

Today was a fun day.

Dad had to work and so it was just the kids and my step-son at home. Jared my step-son had to go to work at 1pm, so the kids and I went to the Holiday Craft Show at Carson High School. It's just across the road from where we live. Last year I went and here Santa just happened to be there. So I got the girls picture taken with Santa. Well this year I decided we would do it again. This year my son Ridge went along. He didn't wanta sit on Santa's lap he told me he was to BIG. Jennifer is shy when she wants to so she wouldn't sit there either. Well as for Carly being new to the whole thing, she went right to Santa.

Here are a couple pictures from the whole Santa deal.

They turned out pretty good,No tears so that was good.

Later after we came home and fixed lunch. I did some laundry and a few other things and Dad called said he would be getting off earlier than he had planned on. So I hadn't really started supper so he said don't we will just go out for supper. We went to Denny's. It was good and we got out of the house. It was just so nice to not have to cook.

After leaving Denny's we had to stop by the store to pick up a couple things. They had a good deal on Pop at Smith's. Well when we walked in the door they had a nice display using Pop and had a fake Santa there. Ridge said hey Mom do you have your phone ? I said Yes.He said can you take a picture of me by Santa ? I did and my husband Paul laughed said now why didn't he do that earlier today. I told him I think he wanted to but he wants to be to grown up at times. It was funny and gave us a good chuckle after dinner. Kids can be sooooo funny at times.
