This morning we met my brother, Luke, at the mall for a little Christmas shopping. Being with Luke is always and adventure. He totally freaked Nixin out by pushing the yellow "bell" button on the elevator. I wish I would have had a video camera to show you all the reaction that Nixin had to this. He had the maddest, scared, teary eyed look on his face as he was trying with all of his might to push Luke away from the button before he pushed it. Then after he pushed it...well, for some reason Nixin had it in his head that the police were going to come find us and take us to jail because we had pushed that button. Hours after we left the mall, Nixin was still keeping his eyes out for those police! The mall was crowded, but we found what we had gone there for and that was great.
Next, lunch at Burger King. If people were not at the mall, they were at Burger King. That place was packed! But, it gave us time with Luke and that is what mattered.
Our evening plans got tossed around a bit, but we ended up having a great time. We ate a nice Italian Roast Beef Sandwich dinner and then headed down to Thanksgiving Point to drive through their light display. Hundreds of other people had the same idea (seemed to be the theme for the day!), but as soon as it was our turn to enter the lights and Jack realized what this was all about, he said "This is my favorite Christmas activity so far!". It made the wait worth it.
After that, we picked up Peppermint shakes and came home and watched one of our very favorite movies, Elf. It was a fun, Christmas packed day.
