I Should be Packing...

And I'm thinking, holy bejeesus, when was the last time I did two posts in two days. However, I have to share this year's Santa photo. I took the girls over to the mall after work today and we ate dinner there and stood in line to see Santa. I thought for sure I was going to have to be in the photo with them, because as soon as we got to the front of the line, Olivia clung to me for dear life and said she didn't want to see Santa or talk to him. Then, wonder of wonders, when the kid that was up there hopped off Santa's lap, she surprised me and ran up to him. Did she hit him? I kind of thought that could possibly happen. But, it didn't. She gave him the biggest bear hug I have ever seen and then whispered in his ear. It was the most adorable thing I have seen her do. And Bea just took it all in stride, but with extra excitement. Here's the captured photo (and mama - yes, me - laid down the law with Santa's helpers by making them take 5 photos so I'd get a good one. Mama doesn't pay good money to have one kid smiling and the other not. Well, that's the Mama I've now become.):
