Jayci in Red

The other day, Jayci decided she needed to wear red, for Christmas coming. And also, Caden needed to wear red to match. I was happy to oblige, as long as she agreed to take a few pictures of her and her brother. Her response? "Ok mommy, you can take three pictures. That's all."

Thankfully, I was able to sneak in a few more, because my sweet little ones looked pretty cute in their red outfits.

We also took an impromptu trip to Lenox mall, since it was family day. Also, because we desperately need a new rug for our living room. There may or may not be gum currently stuck in it from one of the kiddos. I would tell you what else, but I might want to have you over for dinner someday, so it's probably better you don't know. For your own good of course.

I'm not sure what made me think I'd find an appropriately priced rug at Lenox mall. I temporarily forgot what we do for a living.


It turns out that Santa was already at Lenox for the season. Jayci was, however, a little too nervous to go visit him. She merely wanted to "peek at him" a few times throughout our trip.

We left Lenox just in time to see them hoisting the giant Christmas tree onto the roof. Adam Jayci was excited to see the large cranes they used to lift such a ginormous tree. We laughed about how if we had planned to try and go to see the Christmas tree being put on the roof, we surely would have missed it because we are perpetually late for everything. So it was a happy accident and a festive day!
