'Twas the Saturday before Christmas

We had a busy Saturday. We started off early by going to the mall for pictures with Santa. This is Caroline's third time with Santa this year, so hopefully by now he knows everything on her list. She likes Santa and even had a death grip on his sleeve.

It appears that Santa drives a Hummer. We saw his H2 outside a local children's store later in the afternoon.

Later we went to Downtown Disney for dinner. The weather was great and the colored balls of lights on the trees were so pretty.




Tomorrow we will be packing our warmest clothes as we get ready to head into the aftermath of the huge blizzard in D.C. We'll be trading our flip flops for boots and hats. Although I'm looking forward to spending time with family, I'm really not looking forward to trading the gorgeous weather we've been having for 2 feet of snow and bitter cold. Although I was born a Minnesota girl, it's like I've lost all ability to stay warm when the temperature dips below 50. Weak you might say and yes, I agree. But sadly it's true. I am going to be freezing my fanny off. The upside is that Caroline will get to meet two cousins she hasn't met yet and her Great Grandma Byrd. She might even get to play in the snow a little and hopefully tour the White House and check out some of the Smithsonians.

To all the readers that are on the east coast: Stay warm and stay safe!
