"I KNOW HIM"

Miss L had her first experience with Santa Claus yesterday. We made our reservation nearly a month ago, after learning about this "special Santa." The "Santa Experience" at the MOA- boasts a real traditional looking Santa. Instead of donning the big red suit and faux beard....this Santa is more of a "Kris Kringle" type. He is extremely interactive with the kids...now Miss L was a too young to appreciate this Santa, but I am certain future years will definitely yield lots of excitement.

Miss L woke up from her nap right before it was show time. This made for a not-so-interactive Santa experience. She did "good," just not totally herself. Of course, just 5 minutes after visiting with Santa, she was in great spirits. Below are a couple of photos from our camera, I will scan the professional photo in a bit.

Ugly Christmas Sweater

Two stores, 90 minutes and Twenty dollars later...and Jeremy now owns an Ugly Christmas Sweater. And it is UGGGLYYY!

He wanted to wear one to work, in an effort to create buzz surrounding the upcoming large staff Christmas Party! So, off to the M-O-A we went...not coming home without a sweater. Good thing, we have the store, Ragstock, with "1000's of Ugly Christmas Sweaters" per their large banners at all 3 locations at MOA.

This beautiful sweater works well for the big guy because features a knit-in Christmas Tree (no embellishments to cheat the way to the ugliest sweater!)...also, it's a VEST, and Jeremy's staff has experienced Jeremy in a sweater vest on multiple occasions...lastly, it has a gray cell phone pocket on the left side of the vest - perfect for the crackberry!

He is such a great manager, getting into the spirit and having fun with his staff! Suffice it to say - it was a big hit and required an encore presentation the following week!

Happy Holidays!
