We go every year to visit Santa. We make quite a production out of it. We get all dressed up, we visit the big guy, then we often have a special lunch or treat out. It's a fun tradition, and we have all the pictures to prove it. This year, we waited until pretty much the last minute to go. We woke up early, sure we'd beat the lines, got all dressed up, drove to the mall, ran to the Santa spot, and.......we were greeted with a HUGE line. Like, we'd be there all day, kind of line. I knew we wouldn't last for five minutes in that line, and I wasn't quite sure what to do. I looked at the kids and asked them what they thought we should do. Lizzy said, "Well, when life gives you cracked eggs, make egg-nog." And that's just what we did. We took a really cute picture close to Santa, visited the Lego store and made ornaments, and had a yummy lunch out at Johnny Rockets. The kids were happy, so I felt happy. I was disappointed not to get our traditional picture, but proud of the way the kids could go with the flow. Next year, we'll remember to go EARLY!
