Is Scout REALLY getting over wearing costumes?
PLEASE NO!

This morning we had Breakfast with Santa.
We were running a bit late because Micah took Pips for the night, and I slept in for once in my life.
But why did it have to be on a morning we actually had plans.
As we walked in, Micah said, “Guys…I hear some bells!  I bet Santa is showing up.”
Too bad as we walked in, what we were hearing was the bells of Santa leaving!
Whoops.

No worries — he came back for a quick visit with our kids.

And then it was breakfast time.

At a solo table left up just for our kids.
(In my defense…they closed up shop early!)
After that, we spent some time at the crafts tables, and then called it a day.
-
When we went home, our kids took particularly long cleaning out the car.
So long, that we were too late to make it to the Brockbank’s service project.
It was becoming an annoying day!

But then, we decided to have an impromptu family day, and it ended up being really fun.
We headed down to a local park that was having a big Christmas Festival that Ka was helping at.

The day ended shaping up quite nicely!

And lucky me….
later that night, Scout earned a special date with me to Circle K for treats and hot chocolate and the boat parade.

This was his chosen seat.

And this was his favorite boat.
