Ten days ’til Christmas. Shopping is done, cards have been mailed, to-do lists are organized (though still much too long). We leave Sunday for Santa Fe, so I’ve got just a few days left to get everything finished up. We’re having two separate Christmases this Thursday, so I’d better start wrapping like a fiend.

We had playgroup at the mall today (there’s a big, soft playspace for kids), and Max requested that we go see Santa. I wonder if he will grow up thinking that Santa lives in the mall? Wait. Maybe Santa *does* live in the mall. It makes more sense than the North Pole.

Khai turned seven months old today. !!!!!!!! It’s going so incredibly fast.

Max says, “Happy New Ear, everyone!” He is telling Khai the story of the three little pigs as I type. :)
