Visit with Santa.

Good Morning. Last evening we had our annual visit to Santa. The mall of course was bananas! I'll definitely be doing the majority of the rest of my shopping online. I thought what a great way to be in the Christmas spirit but was actually ripped back into reality once stumbling upon no parking and rude strangers. We decided we were just going to go in see Santa and leave. Santa ended up being on break when we arrived so we were forced to do a small bit of window shopping. We set out to a small primitive shop and got a few gifts. we got in line and Santa came back. Very thrilled that all three kids liked Santa (no crying fits here). This mall Santa was actually a really great one. He talked to the kids and asked them what they wanted. The of course replied with their favorite two gifts that we told them they could ask Santa for. It was our middle son C that surprised both mommy and daddy by telling him a "skate board" he never once mentioned this. not while writing his Santa letter or even the many conversations on what the kids wanted.

We quickly left said mall and went out to eat and eventually made our way to the light display which was the high light of our evening. there's something magical about seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child. I have to say the holidays are much more fun experiencing it with my little ones.
