We took the kids to North Park Mall in downtown Dallas to see Santa. We arrived at 10am and were given a ticket and instructions to return at 3:30pm. When we checked back, they weren’t even halfway to our number. I asked what time the earliest person arrived to get a ticket and was told 7:30am! We’re going to try again this weekend and make sure to get there earlier. They did get to enjoy watching Santa read a story to the children, as well as seeing a puppet show, a children’s choir and a few dance teams perform.
Mike’s office had a Christmas party last Saturday night, and it was so great to be able to meet his coworkers. We had a wonderful time, it especially nice for me to get to know some of the other wives! Everyone was so friendly. There was even some dancing, which I was thrilled about.
Noah’s Boy Scout pack had a float in the Christmas Parade; our den was responsible for making it, so we got to ride in it. I had never been to A Christmas parade, let alone be a part of it, so it was a really neat experience. Our theme was “Leave No Trace,” so our float was second to last, and some of the boys walked alongside the float and picked up trash in bags they were carrying.
