Saturday

Saturday was a busy day but this is the only picture I took. It's the back of our car when we got home at almost 10:00 pm at night. It's sad because there were a ton of photo ops and the kids matched but I just didn't get my camera out.

We got up and got ready to go and headed to BYU to see if Paul could sell back his books. It was starting to snow but it was really wet and icky. Everywhere we went was a total mess. I think this is another reason I didn't take any pictures. I was afraid my camera would get wet.

Emma and I spent time and money in the Campus Floral shop. They had such cute things. When we were done we went up to the bookstore. Even though the whole store was on sale we hardly bought a thing. We got one Christmas gift and some chocolate covered gummy bears.

After we left we headed to the Quiksilver outlet. Once again we hardly got a thing. We picked up one shirt for Andrew that was mis-marked to $9.99. We noticed a new Mexican place right where Las Terasca's was. We hoped they were back but it was different. The food was edible but not great. I don't imagine it will be around long.

After lunch we went to the mall. What a mistake. It was super crowded and the kids wanted everything and couldn't understand that we weren't buying because Christmas is right around the corner. It was torture for all of us. We left the mall after a little bit and went to see A Christmas Carol in 3-D.

I'm not sure how I feel about this movie. It was just like the story we all know, but it was creepy as heck. The "animation" was incredible though. I think I am going to say I liked it. I don't think I would take young kids though. Even mine seemed a bit bored by the beginning.

After the movie we went to Deseret Book and got a few more things. Emma was ticked that she wasn't allowed to spend her money on fabric that she wouldn't be able to use. She pouted all the way back to the mall. I took her to Justice where she was able to buy some fun stuff and that perked her up. I got myself some stuff at the Gap and that perked me up.

We got some snacks in the food court but decided that we really felt like Chili's queso and chips. We headed that way, made a stop at Joanne's and FYI, then went to Chili's where we had a lengthy wait. We finally got our chips and dessert and our day was complete. We were all tired.

I swore we would not go back to the mall again until after Christmas but then I remembered that we needed Santa pictures. Dang it! I guess we will go back one more time but maybe with blinders on the kids.
