Making Merry

The simple things, right? Zane loves inflatables. What person doesn't enjoy them at least a tad? I mean, they are very much like huge balloons, and we love balloons. Zane begins asking to see the huge inflatables at Lowe's around Halloween time. We like looking at all the decorations but the ones on the top shelf, way out of reach, are really cool.

We went into At Home the other day, looking for some stuff for organizing. I told Zane it would be fun to walk through the store so I could brainstorm some other things too. As we turned the corner we were in inflatable heaven! These pictures barely give a taste of the number and variety. Other customers stopped to watch and listen to Zane's enthusiastic comments. I commented to one couple "Why buy them when we can come here to see all of them on display?!" This might be becoming a tradition for Zane and me but this was definitely an extra merry year.

He's waving to the Santa that descends and ascends in the chimney.

 Santa is huge! "Mom, let's count the different Santas. There are a lot."

We may have been most excited about Olaf, which we missed the photo op for.
