We took the kids to Golden Spoon last night. You will never guess who we saw! SANTA! Levi couldn't believe it! He spotted him first and came running over to me. I couldn't believe my eyes! This man really looks like Santa! Little Guy wanted to sit on his lap...and I wasn't sure if this complete stranger was up to the challenge! (I hadn't read his shirt...so I wasn't sure if he would mind) As I was walking over to him, he knew what I was going to ask. So, he told Little Guy to come right over. Little Guy was so excited AND not the least bit shy! Santa told Little Guy that he was on vacation in CA! Levi wasn't sure what he wanted yet, but just enjoyed sitting there with googly eyes!
It turns out this man rents himself out for parties...if you ever need a Santa, this is your man!
OH! Remember the post about Santa? How Cutie wasn't sure if she believed anymore? Well, Tom had a wonderful way of breaking the truth to her.
Cutie: Dad, is Santa real?
Hubby: Yes, he is really real!
Cutie: Are you sure? We learned in history about St. Nick and I don't think he could still be living?
Hubby: Sweetheart...your mother and I AND now YOU are Santa.
Cutie: Huh? What do you mean?
Hubby: Well, your mom and I are Santa...and we have been waiting for you to realize that Santa couldn't be just one person. You see, now that you know the truth...you get to be Santa too! There is a lot of work to be done when you are Santa.......
He then told her about choosing gifts for everyone, wrapping presents, putting toys together, eating cookies when everyone is asleep, and putting all the gifts under the tree. She was thrilled that she now gets to help us. She is also going to keep it a big secret from her brothers.
I think she almost started to believe after last night...
