Experience with Santa = much better this year

So not sure of who knows this but both of our kids are scared to death of Santa.  It is pretty funny. They love the idea of him and the fact that he brings them presents but they refuse to get too close to him much less sit on his lap. So last year we told Sam that in order to receive anything from Santa she had to tell him.  So as her and Daddy were walking by the area that Santa was in at our neighborhood Hot chocolate with Santa event she yelled at the top of her lungs that she wanted a Tangled doll.  Funniest moment in a long time.

So the Hot Chocolate event with Santa was this weekend in our neighborhood and she actually got right up next to him with me and Daddy and Alex all together for the picture then shyly turned away while whispering what she wanted.  It was just loud enough he could hear something but we didn't push it and told her she did a great job. We also told her she could only ask for 2 things from Santa so she was able to narrow it down. 

They also had lots of fun activities at the event and there was a arts and crafts table, 2 full size bounce houses and a hayride.  We enjoyed the hayride it was all along the back woods in our neighborhood and it was a beautiful day for it. Oh and some yummy cookies and cake balls were had by all.
