Our first Santa Encounter

On Friday afternoon, my sister-in-law called me and and told me that I could sign up for a free Breakfast with Santa at Chick-fil-a in the Layton Hills Mall. It was the next morning and when I got on the Internet there were only 6 reservations left. We quickly signed up and then planned for how we were going to make it out to the Mall by 8 am the next day. We got there with a few minutes to spare. Keldrie was sitting so good and looking around, waiting for her breakfast, when Santa came out. She took one look at him, turned to me, and said, "I want to go home!" 

Well, Gaby and her kids came shortly after and once Keldrie saw her older cousins talk to Santa and sit on his lap, she decided she could at least talk to him. She went over and told him what she wanted for Christmas, but wouldn't sit on his knee for the life of her. So we compromised with this: 

Of course she had to have her hat because it had snowed. This Santa was such a cute one too, don't you think? We had a good time for a while, but then Kel wouldn't behave herself so we had to take off. Silly girl.

Well, Sunday morning Matt woke up feeling pretty sick. He had been fighting a cold for a few days and it finally caught up with him. While he stayed in bed and slept, Keldrie and I made him some Cinnamon Rolls. I was just in the mood to bake and Keldrie is always willing to play in the flour.

Got my Kitchen-Aid at a Black Friday sale right before Matt and I got engaged and it was worth getting up at 4 to get. My sister Chelsea went with Matt and I, and she was extremely useful. She sure can move when she wants to and she shimmied up the escalator and grabbed me a black one real quick. It is a pretty great deal. 

I gave Kel a little piece of dough to work with while I rolled and cut the rolls. By the time I was done, she had covered herself, the chair, the counter and quite a bit of the floor in flour. But she had a blast! Oh and on Sunday, we don't change out of our pajamas until it is time to get dressed for church, hence the footie pajamas pictured here! 

They turned out pretty good. In the last 24 hours, Matt has eaten at least a dozen. 

Keldrie loves her doodle board. You can also see the hair she cut on the top of her head sticking straight up. 

Well, the countdown to Turkey day is getting close. I'm pretty excited, especially because Matt has Wednesday and Thursday off, plus no school on Friday! Hooray!
