And, to top it all off...

I can't believe I forgot to mention that the kids and I ran into Santa Claus on Thursday night. He was getting off the elevator as we were getting on. He spied O & Mac and gave them each a little Christmas Bear. They thought that was way cool - and are now convinced that Santa is indeed everywhere and watching everything. (Although, that knowledge did not keep McIver from bouncing off the walls tonight as we walked across the skybridge to the parking garage!)
