First, mom ordered and picked up more Christmas cards for our family to send. Then we stopped and got a bite to eat since Layla and Zackery wouldn't stop bugging mom with their pleas of hunger. So as Zack ate the "Make a Funny Face pancake" and Layla enjoyed her "Rooty Jr.", mom worked on addressing the rest of the cards.
Then we drove across the way for the post office and bought some stamps and Layla helped with putting the stamps on. Zackery just merely got in his sister way. As soon as all our cards were addressed and stamped, Layla and Zackery took turns putting the envelopes in the mail box for official mailing. They really enjoyed putting the mail in the box.
As soon as we were done with that task, we drove across the cit
y to Chandler to get Zackery a hair cut. He definitely needed one! He is becoming such a big boy as he sat there as still as a 4-year-old could be and repeatedly asked for his lollipop until the very end. He looks a tons better! He even remembered that he got a key and ran to put it in the slot for his second surprise, a toy!

We then made our way to local department stores for some Christmas shopping! Mommy definitely waited until the last minute to get the gifts she needed. Layla was an excellent helper! Zackery, not so much! Luckily, Dad came along and helped with wrangling the pre-schooler so Mom could finish up.
We concluded the shopping with a Birthday Lunch at Benihana. We used Mom's special birthday certificate and we were all so happy to get a huge table to ourselves. We all enjoyed the food we ordered and Mom even enjoyed the sushi Dad ordered as an appetizer. Our chef, Allan was awesome and even practiced his Navajo on us. For one of his tricks--spinning his spatula around his finger--he lost the spatula and it almost hit Layla. We all laughed in the end because her reaction was so delayed and she made the funniest of faces. Zackery took out his chopsticks and pretended to be the chef. When the crew came out to sing for Mom, Zackery tried his best to sing along, which sounded more like mumbles. We all rolled out with bellies full and raced back to our home to get ready for our trip.
