Annual Day at Northpark

Every year we spend a whole day at Northpark seeing and doing the fun things that they have all around the mall at Christmas time.  This year Nicole, Harper and Hudson joined us for the fun.  First we had our picture made with Santa.  After pictures we were all hungry.  I think the kiddos were starving --- they were eating everything they could find for snacks.  So we went to PF Changs with 4 kids.  We got a big booth so we could block them in and we got out our phones.  They really did pretty good.  After lunch we went upstairs to see the trains.  They are amazing.  It was a race to see who could push the buttons first.  You know everyone wants to be FIRST.  When we left the trains we passed an ice cream place that my kiddos had to stop at.  Maggie chose chocolate and so I made them split it.  Chocolate was not the right choice for not staining our clothes.  Maggie was very intent on finding the fuppets (puppets).  It is a scrooge puppet that is so rude and mean but she likes to watch him every year.  We ran to catch him because we were not waiting another hour to watch him and I didn't want to hear about the fuppets any longer.  Nicole and I took turns keeping kids out in the middle of the mall while the other ran into a store and looked really quick.  By 3:30 my feet were hurting and my kids were cranky!  Turner was asleep before we got out of the parking lot.  It was a day full of fun.
