This past weekend we went to see Zoo Lights at Reid Park Zoo. Very cool, and Davin loved it because he loves Christmas lights no matter where he sees them. He also loves his Grandma, and insisted that she hold his hand, even when he was in the stroller. Charis enjoyed looking around at the twinkly lights, but was a little tired by this time of night. So, she needed a pick-me-up, which came in the form of cotton candy. Her first time trying it, and she was taking huge bites (go figure, she likes sugar). I found one of the hot chocolate tables and decided that just felt right for the occasion, but then was a little bummed when I found out that Mom and Mariah had found their own pick-me-up at the table that would add liqueurs to your hot chocolate. Where was that table when I was buying my hot chocolate???
The next day we got up early (mostly because Davin was wide awake in a strange place and not because we were determined to get up early) and braved the mall to go see Santa. Being their early had its perks, though, because we were second in line as soon as we walked in. The mall was much more packed by the time we finished shopping and left. Charis sat with Santa quietly, no fuss, like she knew it was just something that had to be done. Davin was hesitent, and, after much conversation and coaxing from Santa, would only sit beside him, not on his lap. When asked what he wanted Santa to bring him for Christmas, Davin's response was a whispered "I want bring presents."
