Dear Santa, Define Good ...

It took 2 attempts but the kids finally got to talk to SANTA. We heard Santa and his reindeer would be at Bath Nursery on Sunday December 12^th.  The kids got all dressed in the Christmas outfits … when we got to Bath Nursery we discovered that Santa must have sent out a BIG MEMO this year cause there was about 150 other kids waiting to see Santa.  OH MY … there was NO way Makenna would have made the “Good List” this year after standing in line for 2+ hours to see Santa. I knew it was going to get ugly.  Try explaining to a 4 year old ... um there's Santa way over there but all these kids need to talk to him so we will try another day. She was heart broken at first ... "I didn't tell Santa what I want him to bring to me" disaster was about to happen ... then she saw the Reindeer. We told her ... "since Rudolph wasn't there Santa had to get the reindeer back to the North Pole before dark so we would have to talk to Santa at his next stop. She bought it!

~ Our Second Attempt to Talk to Santa ~ 

Things got a little busy so it took longer than expected to get back to talk to Santa.  I had the day off on Tuesday the 21^st so the kids and I got dressed up again for another attempt at sitting on Santa’s Lap.  This time Santa was in Old Town at his little cabin next to the ice skating rink.

At last they got to talk to Santa.  He assured them they were both on the “Good List”.  Not sure how Santa defines GOOD?!?!?  But it looks like he will be making a stop at our house this year.  Makenna wants a HELLO KITTY CANDY JAR.  Yep Santa, hope you have one of those at the North Pole cause momma elf is having a tough time with that one.  Elmo didn’t want to sit on Santa’s lap.  Makenna says he will next year when he gets a little bigger but she told Santa that Elmo wants a TEDDY BEAR and Justin wants a JOHN ELWAY ROOKIE CARD.  Santa said he would look in his own collection because that is an antique!
