Well, it was bound to happen I guess. The Christmas rush has officially begun. This weekend was jam-packed with stuff for us to do, and places for us to go. Not all of it was Christmas-stuff, but still, it was definitely a sign of the impending Christmas rush.
We started off Friday night with a trip to see the Christmas Express train. It was a huge train that was decorated for Christmas with lights and all kinds of stuff. Rumor is that Santa was on the train, but the line was way too long and LittleMan would have only cried, so we decided to skip that whole fiasco and just look at the train. I have pictures, but left the camera at home today. I’ll probably download them all tomorrow and post on my photoblog.
Saturday, we tried the Santa at Wal Mart thing. He had fun talking to Santa from afar, so we are a little closer to the right direction I guess. Saturday afternoon was spent helping Hooker study for the ACT and putting up our outside Christmas lights.
Sunday we had to go to a baby dedication for our awesome photographer’s adorable little boy. Afterwards, she had a reception with Corky’s BBQ (mmmm) and then last night was LuckyHusband’s dad’s birthday party. WHEW!! I’m winded just talking about all of it.
Anyway, hopefully some pictures to follow tomorrow.

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
