We visited Mall of America and saw Santa earlier this month. The kids really enjoyed the rides at the Mall. We were all surprised that Jenna wanted to go on every single ride that her brothers went on. She was able to go on the airplanes and trains alone with the boys and then went on a small roller coaster, merry go round, and haunted house ride with Bob and I. Jake and sometimes even Josh were careful about what they went on so this was new for us. She actually just about had a fit when we told her she could not go on the roller coaster with her brothers but then was able to ride with me. Jenna was so cute running around and getting excited about all the rides. It was like this was her first time at Mall of America but she was just there for her birthday in August.
I wanted to post this photo even though you can't see Jake real well. Something about Jenna going on these planes with her brothers just hit me how much she has grown up in the past few months. For the past three years we have been holding her or pushing her in the stroller while the boys go on the airplanes and now she was running with the boys and got on the ride with no hesitation. The boys also loved all the rides but for Jenna it was a new experience so something fun to document. I have not been scrap booking like I used to so I am hoping that I can document some moments in this blog to use in my scrap booking once I get back to it.
