Today we went to the Kenwood mall to get the Santa picture. Carter had a little of a smile, but Ava wouldn't smile for anything. I'm just glad that she didn't cry, because that was a possiblility as well. We picked out some christmas gifts, and headed over to Toys R Us. We decided to start a family tradition of picking out a toy to give to a needy child, in this case we put it in the Toys for Tots bin. Although Carter didn't really understand why we were picking out a gift, he did pick out a dinoroar toy that he liked. And I had him put the toy into the bin and I tried to explain to him that it was for a child who didn't have any toys. Hopefully as the kids get older, it will serve as a reminder for how truly lucky they are. So, I think this will be our new family tradition.
