In the last days before Christmas I took MsI shopping for her sisters' presents.

We tried to get a picture in front of the giant Christmas tree, but she wasn't interested. I think this random picture of her sitting on the floor turned out better.

The mall was busy in the days leading up to Christmas so I took her before the full mall was open. Toys R Us was opening an hour early for the season, so we were in the mall just after 10 am, but we still stood in a long queue to pay.

MsI spent about 45 minutes before that shouting "Follow Me! Follow Me! Follow Me! through out Toys R Us. She admired all the toys, until suddenly settling very solidly on $2 surprise toys for her sisters. She spotted these right near the exit when I had just about given up on the idea of letting her pick out presents at all.

Shopping done she ate McDonald's while I picked up my favorite Vietnamese noodle dish in the basement Food Court.

Back home later we made some cardboard snowmen and played around with sparkly pipe cleaners.
