Beautiful Day

We started off this beautiful day by hanging out at River's house (sorry Melina and Greg - she has spoken!). There were lots of great people, and plenty of kids to play with. The weather, company, and food were perfect.
There were even outdoor crafts for the kiddies. She made a pine cone bird feeder. The birds will love it - if the squirrels don't first! (hey - everyone has to eat!)
Thank you guys for having us over!


We continued the day, after the nap, by going to the local theater. She was a little stuffy, and we figured - perfect time to hang out in a theater! We saw Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. We thought it was a really fun family movie. First of all, it is Rated G. That alone, is rare these days. Also, it was truly just a fun kid's movie. No adult humor that is over their heads, etc.

After grabbing pizza from Mighty Joe's - our brave little girl decided that she wanted to go see Santa at the mall. Of course, I realize, that this was probably part of a stalling for bed tactic. However, she decided she was 'in' for seeing this guy - up close, and personal. Well, we got there, and she did some serious thinking. After Daddy and Mommy went up to chat with Santa with her - she posed for the shot, by herself. It probably worked out because we didn't plan to go. No special outfits - no back-up Mommy camera, etc. It was easy and great. She even discussed the produce selections she would be leaving out for the reindeer (her favorite - grapes). What a brave little girl! What a beautiful day!
