WE SAW SANTA......HE IS REAL:)

 This evening we went on our annual Christmas shopping trip to the mall.  Ava couldn't wait to see Santa.  She hasn't always liked him, but swore this was the year she wouldn't be afraid!  She was right  she loved him.  She wants a baby butterscotch pony and a teddy bear!  He said she is on the nice list....SO we are GOOD :)  Kerrigan was a little more skeptical of Santa.  She sat on his lap....I believe only because her sister did.  She wouldn't smile.... but she didn't cry either!  And we got some super fun PICS!!!


                                                     

    

                                                     

After Santa we did some mall shopping....

   

Then the girls rode the carousel--A first for Kerrigan;)   Its Ava's favorite and I think Kerrigan is now a huge fan!  
                                                 


                                                 

Tim found this awesome little vendor at the mall called "China Experience" They had fruit smoothies and Bubble tea!!!  We HAD to try it!  They didn't have the bubbles for the tea today, but they had the fruit smoothies!!!  My FAVORITE!!!!  The lady spoke Chinese to us...and had lots of questions about the girls!  We had a great time at this place...it felt like we were back in Taiwan even if only for a minute!!  We were all smiles when we left!!!  Wonderful  impromptu experience!!

Then it was off to Olive Garden to finish the evening!  What a wonderful BLESSED evening!
