The best things in life

The other day I went through the drive thru of Chick-Fil-A and found a little flyer in the bottom of our bag announcing they would be doing free Santa pictures this morning. I figured if nothing else Dalen would be in company with other kids and be able to play on their playground for a bit.

We got dressed and headed over only to find that Chick-Fil-A was slammed! They had both C.F.A. cows dressed up in Christmas hats and a Santa waiting to take picture with the kids. Dalen was really excited to sit in Santa's lap, Cola not so much. She is just not into noise, crowds or really anything that is super fun to her brother. She didn't care for the cows either.

After taking pics with the cows and Santa Dalen played on the playedground and I noticed little white flurries coming from the sky. I thought it was waaaaay too warm (even though it was chilly today) to snow and then I realized they had a snow machine on the roof! Dalen had an absolute blast and so did all of the other kids. It crossed my mind some of them had probably never seen real snow before and to them it was just that-REAL.

Mario had Cola tightly against him, Dalen was running and screaming and it was then that I looked at Mario and said, "Wow, sometimes the best things in life really are free!" He replied, "That'd be a great blog post." Obviously, I agreed!
