9.4.2010

do you remember being a kid on christmas eve?
it was so hard to get asleep.
you could hardly wait for morning to come.
the excitement.
the anticipation.
now, imagine colin on the night before going
to the new lego store in austin.
he went to bed last night early.
he got up bright and early.
he made last minute changes on his contest entry.
we took pictures.
we printed them at cvs.
we got our chores done & the grass cut.
we headed out at 10:30am with the hudsons.
barton creek or bust.
he could barely breathe by the time we reached the
store front.
as if santa had delivered a ton of wrapped gifts.
he was in awe.
he was overwhelmed.
he didn't know where to look first.
we started here.
we looked. we explored.
we touched. we bought.
we survived the crowds.
we loved the "lego bar".
we loved the dell computers at
the lego store.
we played. we dreamed.
we entered the mini-make-n-take contest.
colin is dreaming of winning.
we were all kids for a morning.
lunch at the california grill.
shoe shopping at nordstrom.
colin thanked us a hundred times today.
he will remember this day.
it was christmas in september.
