Fall break is ending

Tonight is the last night of Fall break and it's been a great one! The weather has been amazing and we managed to avoid the Thanksgiving snow we were supposed to get. Josh got the outside lights hung today and we've had some great time off. Nana and Pop Pop left yesterday, but hopefully will be coming back in a few weeks for Christmas if the weather cooperates. Juliette has loved spending time with them and I think secretly loves being teased by Pop Pop.
Other than Thanksgiving, it's been a quiet month for the Longs. Juliette loved making her Santa list and visiting with him a few times. On Friday she saw a man walking around the mall who obviously was used to being called Santa. Come on when you have a full white beard, wear a red shirt, and are on the husky side you've got to be used to kids coming up to you and he was awesome with Juliette. He got down on his knees in the middle of the mall to get on eye level with her and talked about why he sent her elf back to the house and asked what she wanted. Bless his heart. And oh yes, Elfie has returned. Oy. I love and hate that thing. So here's our month in rewind.

It's our new tradition to go to the opening weekend of the holiday celebration down on Caroline Street in the city. Once again Juliette loved looking at the windows- of course she found a Frozen one, seeing Santa, and looking in the stores. I think her eyes nearly bugged out of her head when Santa walked into the toy store while we were in there!

 

She found Yoda!

 

Her to favorite windows- Frozen and the village.
