Very Belated Thanksgiving Day Post

We had a nice Thanksgiving and went to G.B's house and then to Dave's aunt and uncle's house.  Maya had fun playing with her cousins!

Santa

I really should do my Thanksgiving post before anything Christmas related, but I just had to get this picture up.

It's been really hard to fit Santa in this year.  Between all of the winter germs, the busy schedule, and well just life we just hadn't gotten there.  Today Maya was with my mom so I figured we'd just stop at the mall on the way home- easy right??!!  Nope, of course Maya was still asleep when I got to my mom's- which is totally fine, but then we got to the mall right after Santa went on break.  Maya was in good spirits and seemed bummed that she didn't see Santa and I was bound and determined to get this done!  So we went to the food court and ate junk, well I ate junk and Maya mostly played with her milk cup.  Then we left early to go wait in line because it was brought to our attention that I picked of all nights, the last pet night.  So the line would go like this- 3 pets, 1 kid, 3 pets, 1 kid... so we waited in line for over 90 minutes sans stroller with a fidgety Maya who wanted to get all of those fun dogs that were around.

Then as we approached bedtime, and were beginning to lose patience anyway, I sat her on the big guy's lap and this was the result:

Who am I kidding, Maya's end result would have been this anyway.  Remember last year?
