Weekend Before Santa's Arrival

Excitement is growing stronger everyday for Christmas to get here. This weekend we had a few activities to increase our excitement. On Friday, we had a family craft time where we painted the salt dough ornaments we made. Dad painted Tiara's ornament with her paw print she made herself. Tyler delighted us with his Spider-man angel. LOL And there were bells, stars, a heart, and a few gingerbread men that we painted. We really enjoyed doing our crafts and we're going to try anf make it an annual event for us. We just finished painting in time to make it to our geocaching event which was held on the base. We met at the A&W for burgers and to discuss upcoming events.

The next day, our main mission was to get Tiara to the vet for her updated shots. The shelter has a vet on site and it was also part of her adoption fees, so we brought her there. The poor girl cried the whole way there. She did great at the vet though and once she was back in the car we think she sensed she was on her way back home because she settled down.
We dropped her off and then went to the mall for some lunch at one of our favorite restaurant's, Pasterito's, an Italian restaurant. After eating, we went to the mall's Winter Wonderland. There had always been long lineups whenever we tried to visit, but today we got in with very little wait. Here are some of our photos.
