Go Wolfpack!!

I just left Bryan at a sports bar at halftime so that he could watch the rest of the NC State/UNC game without us there distracting him.

We started out today with a quick clean-up. Now that our house is on the market, we clean every day. I guess we probably should anyway! Because the house looked great, we wanted to get out of it, so that it would stay that way! Besides, we knew someone was coming to see it around 11:00 a.m., so we had to be out for that anyway. We went to breakfast and then went out to Bass Pro Shops so that Lily could meet Santa. We wanted to do it out there because the sitting is free and parents get one free 5x7 to keep and then if you like it, you can order more on-line. Because we knew Lily would SCREAM and we wouldn't want to order anymore, we thought this free stuff was a great idea! Lily, of course, did scream, but was fine as soon as we picked her back up. The picture is quite funny!! I wish I had a scanner and I would put it on here.

We walked all around Bass Pro Shops, which I thought was weird and creepy because of all of the taxidermy, but Lily LOVED!! She loved petting the taxidermied animals and looking at the fish tank and waterfall, playing in the tents, etc. They told us that lots of people took Christmas pictures in front of their big Christmas tree or fireplace, and we took some pictures, but because of all the taxidermy, Lily was too distracted and I would NEVER send out a Christmas card with dead animals on it. Am I alone on that one? Anyway, here are some of the pics we took.

Lily and her Daddy on the giant fireplace. The big tree is to their right and that is what Lily cannot take her eyes off of!

Lily loving her new Camelbak water bottle. Her best friend, Kaitlyn, has one that Lily always tries to steal and drink out of. I thought if it made her actually drink some plain water that Lily should have one too! She feels so cool with it!!

In front of the taxidermy Christmas tree. Strangest Christmas tree I've ever seen!!! Even worse than the plastic white ones in my opinion!

We came home just to get Bryan's car and the people looking at our house were already leaving and it was still before 11:00 a.m. We don't know what time they got here, but it seems like they couldn't have been here too long, which I don't think is good. We did have 2 other people come by yesterday, so we are keeping our fingers crossed! We went outside to take some pictures because we are starting early to try to get a photo for the Christmas card. I don't think we got any today. She won't smile for the camera and usually blinks and ends up looking like Anna Nicole in photos! This is sort of a cute one, but not Christmas card material.

She loves my keys now and actually knows which one is the car key, can put it in the door and turn it to unlock the doors!! She can do a lot now, some of which I'm not sure I like!

Bryan left to go to a sports bar to watch the game and Lily and I met him for lunch!

Here she is enjoying climbing all over the stadium seating! There were 2 girls there that she also was fascinated with.

Here she is after lunch while still sitting at the table. I think Lily likes football about as much as I do. And, yes, she does have a black eye--it actually looks a lot better. While we were playing at Kaitlyn's house this week, she feel and landed on a toy--very sad!!

Anyway, hopefully Bryan will be home soon and in a good mood!!
