The day after Thanksgiving is usually a big shopping day for Sheila, Mom and I. We actually braved it last year with Zeke in stroller and he was a good sport. I wasn't holding out this year, but Sheila and Mom-Mom insisted that he come with us. We only went to the Forum which is just a little mall by our house and Pop-pop was on call to come pick Zeke up if needed. Well, he lasted about 15 minutes in the stroller - thank goodness there was a coy pond with lots of fishies outside of Chico's where Mom-Mom and Cioci Sheila took forever in! Then Cioci decided to take over and when we went into Talbots, Zeke bee-lined for the window with all the Christmas ornaments in it. Finally when the sales girls were giving us looks I gave Sheila a look and took out the phone to call Pop-Pop. Sheila finally took Zeke to Gepetto's while I bought Mom-Mom a Christmas present. Zeke was totally content at the toy store and didn't even want to leave with Pop-Pop. However, we finally bribed him with something and got him in the car seat. The boys went home and had some lunch and took naps while us girls went and had a very relaxing lunch. Thanks so much Pop-Pop!
The Forum was having a special Christmas event starting in the evening so we all ventured back to take a ride in a horse drawn carriage. Zeke loves horses and was so excited, but the waiting in line wasn't so fun. Overall, he was a pretty good sport this time!
Here is one of us waiting in line:
And here we are on the carriage:
