Picked up the kids from their mom's (where they made a snowman with their mother... see the album for a snapshot), and we headed to Quail Springs Mall as though I didn't have enough last weekend at Penn Square.

After a quick meal at the food court (and when I say quick, I mean Shelby quick, which is really kinda... not so quick), we saw the movie Elf. Very funny. It was more packed than I would have expected considering it's been out for five weeks. The kids got a kick out of it, though I fear it might draw some unanswerable questions.

We walked the mall after the movie to do a little gift shopping for family. Got a few things and am almost done. I think only three more gifts to get and I'm done. But of course, those are the hardest.
