Christmas outings




We took the boys to go play at the Tomball college Winter Wonderland this evening. And with all the fun, Judah's favorite part was the candy cane he got after seeing Santa. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach...which has also been proven when it comes to Christmas shopping. Judah has developed an extreme aversion to entering womens' clothing stores. Toy stores are fine, the main area of the mall, no problem. But if Mommy turns that stroller into the Gap? Yeah, it's all over. I didn't know that boys hated shopping this early! Well, anyways. The only way I know to get him to work with me is to feed him. So I always enter the mall armed with plenty of snacks. Today, Judah ate his lunch (chic-fil-a), two packages of fruit snacks, a piece of fudge, and a free sample of chocolate so that I could shop for about an hour and a half. Maybe this is not the best method.

It was fun, wasn't it? ALthough, my boys really did not enjoy the whole waiting in line thing. We have pictures on facebook, but my internet connection was awful last night so I haven't posted them here, yet.

Next week we are all together again-- whole group! We would love if you guys could make it...even if you are a creepy blog stalker. :)
