It's beginning to sound like Christmas

Yesterday my cousin Mike and his wife, Rachelle, came to Wichita from Russell to do some Christmas shopping for their four kids. We hit Shepler's (their kids are in 4-H and show animals), Towne East and Target. I had a great time in Brookstone, a store I don't usually frequent. Almost every store has holiday music playing over the speakers, which is something I love. I'm a big fan of the seasonal tunes. But in Von Maur at Towne East (where I had to use their above-average restrooms and check out the clearance room in shoes), there's a real live pianist tickling the ivories. They play year-round but at Christmas it seems especially festive:

After I used their facilities, I stopped in the infants section to check out the sale rack. I ended up snagging this long-sleeved onesie for Zach:

Even though I've already got presents for both Zach and Caden, I couldn't resist this cute shirt. It was a clearance item, after all. And the clearance room in shoes was a bust on this trip.
