Lights on the Square + Papa and Gaga = Fun!

So after the first time at the square every time we were even in the vicinity Chaz would say "I ride horsey!!!" in order to reach parental sanity we made up a small white lie... "you have to wait for Gaga and Papa" :) I know we are terrible! Anyways we promised him this so we called up mom and dad one night and basically told them they had to come down because we were about out of nights to do it before the holiday festivities began.. They obliged.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So we began at Damn Goode Pies. Mom and Dad had never been and wanted to see if it was damn goode. It was! If you have kids you know you must find ways to entertain them throughout dinner time (especially if it begins with a wait for the table) --well a month or so back we "invested" in a little known friend Mr Potato Head (the Santa version) Chaz affectionately calls him Tater Tot --which always makes the Ron White comedy skit pop in my head-- anyways this has been an ultimate lifesaver SO many times, this night included. Below we looks like we could all be in some low budget horror movie but at least chaz thought it was funny.. That would be Tater Tot's Santa beard...

On Gaga

On Chaz

On Daddy-O

On me

and on Papa

Yes we will do anything for this kid even if it means looking like a fool in public..

Where did we go next? Where else... the horsies!!!!

Gaga and Chaz looking at the pony.. Good thing they have that sign mom has been known to climb on fences.. just kidding..

and he is on and happy! Doesn't take much for this kid to grin from ear to ear!

SO HAPPY!!! (what is weird kid doing in the background.. whatever focus on the cute one)

GaGa Chaz and Papa.. he loves them!

Somehow I got suckered into riding a camel with my son (this makes the second large beast of the year.. #1 was the elephant at the circus!) Anyways I put my dork hat (aka bike helmet with Santa hat glued to it) on and rode with a smile..

Pretty thing isn't he?!?!?

Chaz not so sure about what is about to happen...
He isn't smiling but trust me he loved it!
There we go, there is a grin!

Believe it or not this is the best family pic we got that night.. he was so tired by the time we took this.. The other ones he looked like a squealing pig so we call this one the best :)
