Seeing Santa

Buddy, our elf arrived a day early this year. Heidi was just soooooooo excited to see him. We tried to explain to her that he doesn’t come until our tree is up but she insisted on leaving him the following note….

So he decided to come and grant her request.

Here are their Santa letters….

All Heidi wants is a guitar. She wasn’t sure if she’d been naughty or nice (in fact she was quite stressed about it). So I solidified it by outlining SWEET in marker (so she couldn’t change it on us).

Kyla’s note reads as follows…. “Dear Santa,  I want a pretzel machine, a popcorn machine, a slurpee machine, and a drumset. P.S. I don’t play angles!” ???? This girl. She is a crack up. I love her.

Molly was very excited to meet the jolly old guy. She had rehearsed what she was going to ask for, “a Sofia microphone.” I told her she was going to sit on his lap and she was fine with that. Shegenuinely looking forward to getting into his little house to meet him. Did I mention we had to stand outside in freezing temperatures for an hour in line? We did. And these girls wouldn’t wear the pants that I had brought them.

When we got inside Molly literally FREAKED OUT. We let Harper and Pearson go first. She did not want to go near him. So we told him for her what she was hoping for….flung him on his lap, got quick out of the way, and snatched her up again. Poor girl. To top that off her candy canes kept breaking which made her more angry and upset.

This isn’t the greatest photo (she’s out of focus) but it shows the true feelings of just having met with Santa Claus.
