Alyson's Antics of the Day:

I said:

• "I don't know how to read Bibles, but I do know how to read books."
• "You need to announce, 'here comes the princess of the world!'" (having Mommy announce my entrance to Grandma as I modeled my princess dresses while trying them on at the store).
• "Huh?  What did you say?" (like a little old lady... Grandma and Mommy heard this over and over and over again today).
• "What says I want presents?" (when writing my letter to Santa at Macy's today).

I did:

• I woke up a little after 8:00 and Daddy was already ready to wake up. He went out and about and did a little shopping of his own then got home before we got dressed and ready to do our own shopping.
• When we got ready to leave, we found a big box on the porch.  It had a HUGE Olaf from Grandma Bazan and I was so super excited!  
• I got dressed and Mommy and Grandma got ready and we headed out to go to the Valley Mall in Hagerstown.  Other than being a little "ornery" (as Mommy said), I did well with shopping... I did hide under the clothes on the racks and got especially bored while standing in lines.  Luckily,l enjoyed eating much lunch, got to meet new friends in lines with balls and cell phone toys that they shared with me, got to meet Santa and tell him that I wanted an "Anna and Elsa kitchen and real earrings," and got to play in the new play area at the mall.  I also got to try on beautiful princess dresses and got two of them for Christmas dresses and got ice cream to share with Mommy.  Before we left the mall, I got to write my letter to Santa and put in the mailbox.  I had Grandma show me how to write "I want presents" and then I wrote it on my card.  I helped put the stamp on it, then decided that after peaking in the mailbox and seeing that another kid had put a heart on their card, that I needed to add a heart before dropping in my card.  
• I took a brief nap on the way back to the house from shopping.  As soon as we got home, I quickly ran back to Olaf... we cuddled on the couch then on the floor, and even with my Dolly.  I love Olaf!
• After some leftovers for dinner, I relaxed with Grandma and Grandpa while Mommy and Daddy went out for the evening.  I was a little less than pleasant due to my 10 minute nap, but it was nice to spend some time with my grandparents.
