Sadie and Santa.

Waiting to see Santa.

Hello? Santa? Can you hear me now?

Well we made the trek to the mall to see the big man in red. It was a crazy scene! Keep in mind that I don't consider our mall a real mall because there are very few stores. The only time this place is busy is during the holiday season when all the vendors set up in the center of the mall to peddle their wares.

We left the house at 1:30 because Santa was supposed to be there at 2:00. When we got there we were fourth or fifth in line and, of course, the photographer was late. Finally, it was our turn and all Sadie could think about was the candy cane she would get when she was done. Not mention the fact that she would not put the Ipod or the cell phone down long enough for me to get a good picture but at least she wasn't screaming.

The other issue is that she that she filled her pants right before her it was her turn to sit on his lap and there was NO way I was getting out of line because it was now half a mile long! I couldn't smell her but Spencer could so I am not sure if Santa could smell her or not! He never let on that he smelled her so right after she was done we made our way to the bathroom to change her and finish our walk around the "mall".

Spencer was ready to go since he has not been in the best of moods since the whole IRR call back to active duty came the other day! In fact, he has been so depressed that he cries every time he looks at Sadie and it is heartbreaking.

Today is our busy day because we have our Christmas program at church. I am singing and Sadie is going to be an angel in the program. Immediately following church we are off to Spencer's Dad's house for Christmas and then to Spencer's Mom later in the afternoon. By the time we get home we will all exhausted.
