Christmas Tree Time...and my embarrasing moment at Target!

Our dog decided she was going to eat the things off the Christmas tree. She has already chewed through one string of lights. She has eaten numerous bows with jingle bells (she threw up...and there were 3 jingle bells in in...yuck!) She ate a christmas tree ornament that alex painted when she was little..it was made out of playdough. She also ate a ornament that alex painted when she was little. She is a naughty doggie!!!!!!!!
We got our tree and decorated it. We attempted to take a family photo...but Giselle (our dog) didn't want to cooperate. She kept running out of the picture, so if it looks like I am holding her against her will...I am!

Kids and Giselle.

Just kids.

See Tristan's chin....well I am sure you want to know what happened. Yes, if anyone knows me then you are going to have guess that yes...I fell too. So, me and Tristan go to Target. We are darting between the millions of holiday shoppers and their cars. Tristan is holding my hand right hand and my purse is on my right shoulder. Well...Tristan decides he is going to HOP onto the curb instead of step onto the curb. He stumbled when he came down and then he took me down with him. The next thing I knew it....I was on all fours infront of the Target doors. My purse fell off my shoulder and hit Tristan in the head, his face slammed onto the pavement. Yes....everyone was starring at me and Tristan. A man came running out from inside and said, "are you okay!" (with urgency in his voice). I jumped up and dusted off my pants (that were all dirty) and quickly said, "uh yes!" I did not make any eye contact with anyone. I was sooooo embarresed that I pulled on Tristans arm and we quickly walked to the bathrooms inside Target. I didn't even know that Tristans chin was bleeding until we got into the bathrooms. Tristan had been crying since we fell...but like I said...I jumped back up and tried to get the heck out of there...so that people would stop starring at me. I started laughing when I got back into the bathrooms. We cleaned up T-Dogs chin and then we both stayed in the bathroom for about another 5 minutes. I was sooo embarresed that I was waiting for the crowd that saw us fall...to be well inside of Target doing their shopping. I just knew that someone was going to see us inside and start laughing and pointing saying, "hey there's that woman and kid that fell outside." Why, why, why do I always get the embarrasing falls happen to me!!! Who knows! Tristan's friends at school asked what happened to his chin. He told them that only he fell, because it would be more embarrasing to him...if he told them that his mom fell with him. Anyway...there's my story.
