santa visit

Santa was down the street at the bank.
So we went.
We don't always make it a point to
'go see santa.' We usually see him at the drive
thru lights show and that's good enough.
The kids were excited before we got there,
but not really impressed with him.
I'm sure Emma and Maddox knew he was
just someone dressed up.
He had a really obviously fake beard that
didn't really stay on because of his real, really big mustache.

Emma had not trouble counting down her list to him.
Look at her ticking the list off on her fingers.

She ask him for crazy loom and an ipod.

And the best part...candy canes!

See Maddox starring at his fake beard?
Too funny. He's always skeptical.

But he played along and ask santa for an xbox.

I was surprised that Tanner so quickly hopped up in his lap!
I thought he might be a little shy.
I knew santa didn't have a clue what Tanner was asking for.
He quickly gave his candy cane and Tanner got down.
Later, Tanner said he ask santa for a mansion so that we
could always have a hot tub!  That kid loves a hot tub!

Then it was Mer's turn.

And she wasn't having any part of it!!
Even for candy canes!

Compared to what they ask for and what they are getting,
these kids may never believe in Santa again!
