visit with Santa & Mrs. Claus


I caught word that Santa and Mrs. Claus were coming to town, so we made a special trip to see him after church on Sunday. (Perfect, the boys were clean AND dressed up! Unusual words to describe my boys!)

Santa was spot on with the boys! And because there wasn't a line behind us, they got lots of time to chat with Santa and Mrs. Claus. They immediately took to Finn's red hair and Mrs. Claus told Finn that Santa's hair used to be red (something I have been telling Finn recently, too). They even asked about Belf, the elf. They asked where Belf was hiding that morning (in a flower pot). Then Cullen excitedly told them that Belf played his Wii one night, made a Mii character on the Wii, AND brought snacks and drinks in the room (a no-no). Mrs. Claus laughed and told Santa they need to talk to those elves, they are getting into trouble. ;)

Cullen talked to Santa a lot! He told Santa what he wanted (Legos, video games). Finn didn't talk much to Santa... only when spoken to. He wasn't scared, but he just couldn't take his eyes off of Santa. He told Santa he wanted tractors and a farm. Mrs. Claus asked if he was going to be a farmer someday. :)

It was a cute morning. I just love the innocence of childhood!!

THEN we stopped at Michaels for one thing and all hell broke loose. The boys couldn't stand to be still, quiet or good one minute longer! But all the old ladies ate the boys up, they looked so dapper dressed up. ;) (Sometimes their saving grace!)
