Except for some lingering coughs and snotty noses, we are saying "good-bye" to that nasty flu that has been hanging around our house for about a week now. The kids (and myself!) are starting to go stir crazy. They are feeling good enough to fight with each other again so I guess that's a good sign! At breakfast today I asked the kids if they wanted to go and see Santa Claus at the mall. To my surprise, they all got really excited and wanted to go right away! My Mom, being the awesome Grandma that she is, volunteered to come along and join the fun. She's also been sick and I think she was ready to get out of her house, too! Hope was the bravest and went right up to Santa's lap. She told him that she wanted a princess coat for Christmas. She got all excited and proud because Santa said her hair smelled good - like coconuts. Samuel was brave enough to sit on Santa's lap after he saw his little sister doing it! He sat there just long enough to tell Santa that he wanted a new fire truck for Christmas and then he hopped right back down again. (What is up with my kids asking Santa to bring them things for Christmas that I had no idea they wanted?!?!) Aliyah talked the whole way to the mall about sitting on Santa's lap, but once she got there, she stayed as far away from him as she could! Maybe next year. :)
