Another Mac/Smith tradition is to go hunt for the Elf on the Shelf in various stores. We have been doing this since the kids were little. We keep thinking they will outgrow this tradition but so far, so good.
These two are looking like teenagers!
And then there are the TJ's...
Love me a good Christmas decor photo opp and the kids were kind enough to pose for me.
And then the littles said "Take a picture of us on this skateboarding dude"....
A bunch of the stores had tables set up outside and were giving away hot chocolate and treats. Snip-its were doing complimentary hair coloring. My boys were all over that!
Previn's scalp is still orange to this day...
Finding the elf in all the stores...
Olivia was the best at posing for pictures...she really committed...
Photo booth and arts and crafts....
We ran into that crime dog (McDuff? McGruff?)...Take A Bite Out Of Crime kids...
Finally ended the night next to a balloon Christmas tree lady.. Angie suggested that should be my Halloween costume next year since I love Christmas!
Love this tradition
