The picture below is from our trip to Wal-Mart. Santa Claus was shopping in the toy aisle and agreed to take their picture and get Caroline's list from her. (Cooper wouldn't get near Santa without trusty Mommy by his side.)
I had on my to-do list to take the kids to the mall all dressed in their nicest Christmas clothes, but I may settle for this instead. Not the best, but at least they are BOTH smiling AND looking at the camera at the same time. Miracle!
I forgot to mention the best part of the day! (Note: Sarcasm.) We attempted to take Cooper for a haircut, which turned into a crying match between Cooper and myself. We brought all the tools for an easy haircut - suckers, pacifiers, candy, etc. He let her cut his hair on one side and then became screaming when she started the other. He is so darn stubborn! So, we managed to hold him down long enough to trim his sideburns, but the back was not touched. Looks like he will have a Mullet soon. :)
After coming home and putting Cooper down, Scott and I put up the rest of our Christmas lights. I finally feel satisfied with our Christmas decorations and can now relax and enjoy the next few weeks. It doesn't feel like Christmas until you have put up the tree and lights.
Caroline had a birthday party in Greensboro later on Saturday, so I spent the rest of the day taxiing her around while Scott stayed home with Cooper. Sorry, no pics of that.
On Sunday morning, I fixed some (sweet potato) pancakes from the Deceptively Delicious cookbook, which were a BIG hit with Cooper. He ate all two pancakes without getting up from the table. It was definitely a winner!
After that, we lounged around the house and Caroline did a few craft projects for Christmas. Below, Caroline and Daddy "made" Christmas Sugar Cookies.
Best Buddies... until someone gets hurt.
