Let the Holiday Celebrations Begin!

Today we met up with our best buddies at the mall for a little play time, then lunch, followed by the kids gift exchange.  I am not really sure what the most exciting part of the day was, but a good time was had by all!  I kind of felt sorry for those who elected to sit at tables near our wild and crazy group, but hey, they picked those spots!

Seriously ready for some food....

 Four kids, all looking in mostly the same direction...must have been a fluke.  Was there a reindeer behind me or something?

let the mad ripping begin!!!

 No time to stop in between gift opening to admire what we just got...on to the next one, pronto!

We also took advantage of our trip to the mall to put Alex's letter to Santa in the box and send it on its way to the North Pole.

We are really loving this time of year!!!
