Jack and Daddy at Rick's company Holiday party.

Meet the Rajczyks.

We went to the Lincolnwood Mall today to visit Santa and pick up a few things for the holidays (and to get Jack out of the house). Jack had such a great time last year going to see Santa and I was hoping this year would be as much fun for him. Penny mentioned that he might not be as into it this year, but I was holding out hope.

Santa gives the thumbs up, but Penny's not so sure about this whole thing.



















It gets ugly early, to Penny's apparent amusement.



















And we're out of there.
