The First Zills Family Blog

Well, today is December 22nd. Only three more days till Christmas, but only TWO more days till Christmas at my mother's! Linda is starting to enjoy the holidays which is a big deal. She's never been a fan of Christmas. Kyra is super excited about Santa's visit. She's been trying to be a good girl, but she's been having slips, so I told her I talked to Santa and to make up for the slips, she's gotta make him something for Christmas, so she's trying to think up something creative to make him and we'll help her work on it tomorrow.
This is my first Christmas with a family of my own and I am VERY excited. Since we are living with my father for the time being, we tried to make the best of our limited space and we hung up Christmas lights around the room and put out Memaw's porcelain Christmas tree she used to always have on one of her living room tables. However, we like the Christmas lights so much, we may just keep them up until we move out lol.
We took Kyra to see Santa at the mall the other day. This was her first time ever to visit Santa! She was more excited and nervous than I have ever seen her!! It was great! She tends to scratch under her eye when she gets nervous, so she almost gave herself a black eye that night. It was so sweet. She was shaking with joy.

This is the photo she took with Santa. Now, maybe it's just me, but this Santa looks like he's either A) posing for a prison photo... B) drunk... or C) Drunk/High.

Either way, I wanted to punch him in the face for making this photo so ridiculous. Kyra was excited though, so I let it go. Still, I wish I had that money I spent on this in my pocket today.


I should have taken her to O'Charley's to get her pic made with THIS Santa. He was a jolly guy. Totally made my day, as you can see. I was PUMPED!

Well, that's all for this blog. Join us next time for more family fun!! Yeah, I don't really know how to end this thing.....so.....bye.
