Got up and showered and gave Addie a bath and did her hair. We got her Santa outfit ready and went to Grapevine Mills Mall. I have not been there in YEARS. So, I went straight to the Santa area and there were only 2 people in front of me. COLOR ME HAPPY!!! We were done in about 15 minutes. I took a few pictures of her with my phone but none were very good....blurry. I did not get my Canon out to take pictures because they frown on that! :)



After we were done, we walked back down the mall to an area where there were no people around and there was a decent background and I took some pictures of her in her dress...

Here's the Santa pix I took with the phone.

The picture I paid for that they took...I think is the best Santa photo I have ever seen. :)

If you go to http://www.myalbumpics.com/ and enter photo code 338-041-g5zz5000, you can see the photo. It's really good. of course, I'm biased. :)

So, we shopped the entire mall...I got some outfits for her for Xmas from Gymboree, some from another store..got Pat some clothes and a T-shirt for Travis that says Rebel Race Team or something like that. His high school is the Richland Rebels, so I thought that was appropriate.

Anyway, I think we were at the mall for about 7-8 hours. Addie was good. She did sleep part of the time in the stroller. She told me when we left that I did not need to bring the stroller because she was a big girl, but I knew I would stay and shop and she would not walk all day, so I was glad I had it because she did take a nap in it.

So, we went home around dinner time...and I did not realize it until the next day, but I missed the Night of Holiday Magic that the city does every year. Which is not unusual. I don't think I have EVER made it to that. I really wanted to go this year too. I think Pat would have liked the snow hill. and they had a train ride that Addie would have loved.

Speaking of which, there is a train at the mall now...it was $3. to ride (not worth $3, in my opinion) and she rode it all by herself. (they were going to make me pay $3. too to ride with her). She told Ty when we got home that she rode all by herself and what a big girl she is. She really liked it.

anyway we had a good day.

Told Ty I wanted to go eat. We all wanted Abuelos but Pat was spending night at Michael's so we ended up at Spring Creek. We will do Abuelos tomorrow!
