Sometimes you just need to mix things up a bit.
We celebrated Thanksgiving a bit untraditionally this year. Typically we spend the day preparing for a mid-afternoon Tofurky dinner followed by a family run. This year however we decided we were going to go to Fantasy of Trees at 3pm so we all ended doing our own thing in the morning: SP and FuDa played computer games, Dean watched football, and I went into work to get caught up on some stuff. Around 2 we got ready and headed downtown to see the Fantasy of Trees. It's a great event for a good cause (East TN Children's Hospital; they did an awesome job stitching up Stephen-Paul in 2009) and we all enjoy our couple of hours there. Our Tofurky feast was had a bit later this year but was just as good.

This year's Fantasy of Trees had a 1950s Rock n Roll Christmas theme. Every tree was decorated differently and this tree had the music theme with records on it (45s). STEPHEN-PAUL ran up to this tree and said "look mommy, DVDs!!"  I told him that they weren't DVDs but that they were records. yeah, he didn't have clue what I was talking about... 

I was carrying Baby as we were walking by and I let him pet the reindeer despite the 'no touching' sign. FuDa caught us and said, "hey, don't touch that" I said it was ok I'm just letting Stevie pet him quickly. FuDa said, "don't do that mommy or I will tell on you and you will get in trouble" Nice, real nice. He would turn me in in a heart beat!
