Today

We successfully made it to the mall.

Daddy watched the kiddos greet santa before his

pager whisked him away....he has been so busy lately

but very present for his family at the same time-no easy task.

This shot made my little heart burst....Buds running to

tell me what he said to santa....

Bailey eyes the candy canes and Keeg recites a long list!

Pipe was so brave, waving from afar but clung to her big sis,

who wrapped loving, protective arms around her.

sigh.

my clan is so mature.

even pipe is maturing!

I loved watching the awe in their eyes

and the excitement.

I am grateful Brad and my parents got to take it in, as well.
