on saturday we took the kids to the sears christmas party in belleville. besides the horrible driving, keyzia and i had a great time crawling through the giant tubey/jungle gym/ball pit type thingy.... kind of reminiscent of what they have at macdonald's, only about 10 times the size.... she got to play with both momma and daddy in the ball pit, and sierra even joined us, although she wasn't too impressed with any of it... i think she may have been a bit overwhelmed.

keyzia had no trouble sitting on santa's knee.... that is, after she made sure that ephraim sat with him first. and she got an add on for her fisher price farm. all ephraim got was a lousy coupon from the studio for a freemontage. poor guy! no toys for ephraim! come on, sears, there are a million baby toys you could have given instead!
