So...I really tried to make Jonathan's first Christmas extra special by starting out with taking him to see Santa or at least get a cute picture. The plan was in and out of Stonebriar mall during the day while people are supposed to be working. Sharon and my mom were still staying with me and helping out so I summoned them to go with me and make this happen. Good idea right??? WRONG.
We were about 2 hrs behind schedule and finally left the house around noon. I dropped them off at the door with the baby and went to find a parking spot in the ridiculously crowded parking lot. Apparently no one works in Frisco on Dec. 20th. I finally found one in the last row and walked as fast as I could to the entrance. I was expecting to see them right when I walked in but nooooo they were no where to be seen. I could feel the blood drain from my face and started to get the shakes. I dug for my phone which I forgot and was just about to start screaming their names when I heard my sister laugh...thankfully. They were talking to some ladies and had stepped to the side. Once I decided not to have a heart attack we continued operation see Santa. We found the Santa set up and what do you know.......Santa was about to go on lunch. About this time I remembered I really don't like this mall, it's too crowded so we left. Second Stop....Willow Bend. Would you believe this Santa eats lunch too?? We decided we had better eat too and had some chick fil A and then decided Operation See Santa was a bust and we were throwing in the towel. Let's face it Jonathan doesn't care and with photoshop we can get the picture!
Don't listen to my mom or Sharon if they say this is an exagerration of any kind! I sure hope outings get easier and mommy gets less nervous.
This adorable picture below counts since he is wearing santa's hat:
Oh yes, it was maybe even a tad more terrible than you tell. lol. I had fun! xoxo
