Last weekend, Pa Pa Pa came to visit and we spent a great weekend doing some of his shopping and we took the opportunity to go visit Santa at the mall. Lily was very excited to see him. She was waving and ho ho ho'ing all the way down the line as we were waiting and then it was our turn!!! All of a sudden, she brakes went on and she refused to go near him. I finally picked her up and we talked to him for a bit and then Maman sat down next to him with Lily on her lap for the picture. Maman and Santa looked happy but Lily - not so much. Now she didn't cry but she wasn't smiling. The funniest part was that as soon as we left the area, she was back to waving to him and being all happy. Oh well, I hear that's a typical reaction for a 2 year old.
This weekend, Auntie Leslie came to help Maman set up her new treadmill. It's a monster and a few times we thought it might get the best of us but being the strong women we are, we read the instructions and managed to get it up and running. Thank goodness and thank you Aunt Leslie. No more excuses not to exercise.
Lily's fighting another cold (life at daycare) so we spent the day at home and decorated. She wanted to look in "every" box and helped put decorations on the tree and outside. The place looks festive and is ready for our Christmas guests. Next weekend, we need to start baking and start our shopping.
We took a few pictures while we were waiting for Santa and at home. Enjoy!
I think I hear Santa!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Whoo Hoo! I like all the lights.
