Santa is almost here

And we went and sat on the big guys lap. Tristan asked me while we were in line, "Mom, is it going to be the real Santa?" And I told him that Santa can't be at every mall so he has helpers to collect all the information and relay it back to Santa so he should treat this person just like it's the real Santa no matter what. He peeked in the door to Santa's house and whispered to me, "Mom, it is the real Santa, I can tell!" He looked like the real Santa I have to admit, but I am sure a 7 year old would know better than me, so we'll go with his judgment on this one. Finals are upon me and I am proud to say that I am going into them with either 2 A's and 2 B's or 1 A and 3 B's, it's really close and I am not exactly sure, but am pretty happy at any rate. So now you all will know if I totatlly bomb the last test. I am sure everyone heard about the shooting in Omaha at the mall. My mom was in the mall-thankfully at the other end-when it happened. And my sister in law, with her two kids, was on the 3rd floor of Von Maur (the store where it happened) and left 20 minutes or so before the shooting occured. So God was watching out for our family and I just so thankful that everyone was okay. I have to go study and address about a 100 Christmas cards so that is all for now, enjoy the new pics.
