THREE? THREE!! Tristan is Three!: Operation Christmas Child

We invited Hadley to come and help us shop for Operation Christmas Child.

you get to buy a "shoe box" and fill it with stuff for kids and it gets shipped off to anyone in need.

Hadley made one for a girl her age and T a boy his age.

I explained to Tristan that this was NOT about him - that he would NOT be getting anything.

After doing some shopping for his little "friend" he saw the ONE thing he has been begging for that he decided he's going to ask Santa for.

It was like time stopped... (he's only seen it on TV) and he ran over to it and screamed

"MOM, LOOK! They have it here, NOW WE DON'T HAVE TO ASK SANTA!!!"

(I almost died laughing... sweet boy) and I explained that it doesn't work that way.

He said "Oooooookaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" and put it back. I was proud of him.

then it was time to buy stickers (it was a tough decision)

then we paid and we headed out...

But not before Holtie

could pull a stunt or two

and spin them around and around

and around and around!!

then we told Hadley she was coming to Disney with us for T's 4th birthday. She almost passed out.

Off we went to Bebah and Grandpa's house to "make the boxes" and see the cousins.

T hung with Holden...
