Seeing Santa

Tucker left Harry a note that said he needed to go see Santa! When Chad got home we jumped in the car and headed towards the mall! They were both so excited! Georgia Kelley said she was going to ask him for a "baby" and "elmo book"! Harry said he was going to ask him for a "DS" and an "I Spy shirt"!  We waited in line...

 We watched other kids talk to Mr. Clause..

 Georgia Kelley would not budge! She didn't want to have anything to do with Jolly ole' Saint Nick!  She was not crying...just screaming and holding on to Chad!

 Harry and Santa had a long talk, Santa showed Harry his pictures and the discussed why there were so many "Santas" everywhere!  Santa said they were his helpers!  Harry told Santa he wanted all ninja gear and clothes! That was the first I had heard of it! 

 Georgia Kelley didn't mind taking the chocolate from Santa!

Oh! Harry talked to Santa about Tucker and Santa was very awkward! Harry picked up on it!  Next time, I will have to warn him!  HA!

Nowadays Santa Needs His Own Secret Service

Saturday morning Chad and I had an event at church and Chad's parents took the kids! They just happen to have a Santa party at their church and the kids were pumped! Harry made me write his Christmas list on the way out the door for Santa! Chad's dad took the following pictures, as you scroll down you will see Harry slowly getting closer and closer to Santa with a very serious look on his face! When we asked him what he was doing, he said he was protecting the kids and Santa! I am not sure anyone else will think this is funny but, Chad and I got a big kick out of it! 

Sitting with the kids getting ready to hear Santa read a book!

 Walked to the back to get a good view of everyone!

 Secret service men have to be very serious!

 Then he slowly got closer and closer to Santa! I have never really seen him cross his arms like that since his fit throwing days!

 Now he has a good position! No messing with Santa!

 How sweet are these kids?

The younger ones obviously are not fans of the man in the red suit!

They loved the party and we heard all about it that afternoon!

Dear Santa

 You just can't beat the magic of Santa! Georgia Kelley sat on his lap and smiled(Chad wasn't quick enough on the camera) then she looked up at who was holding her and that is when she lost it!  Harry on the other hand LOVED seeing Santa and telling him his long list! He really wanted super hero stuff this year: costumes, Star War figurines,  castle(he got Batcave and that was perfect), swords, and at one point he said he wanted lights to go on his house(didn't get that this year)!

Our tradition is we leave the house for Santa and we spend the night Christmas Eve at my grandmother's house.  Santa comes there too, then when we come home, we walk into a home that has been hit by Santa.  We ended up staying at my grandmother's a day longer than expected, so we are dirty, and not dressed in our Christmas clothes.   They saw their gifts the day after Christmas. They were a hit and Harry has NOT asked for anything since....two days. 

 Once Georgia Kelley got her food, she was putting it in and out of ther kitchen.  She loved it and now it is in our kitchen and I might add that it matches perfectly!
