Pop came for dinner the other night since we didn't get to see him over Thanksgiving and he missed J's Christmas program. We had a great time...and the kids were SO excited! After dinner, J performed a couple of his songs for Pop. Miss E couldn't stop hugging on her Pop. McK finally woke up and spent some quality time with Pop. They were sad to see him head home, and we all look forward to having him share Christmas morning with us!
Will wonders never cease...J asked to sit on Santa's lap this year! His first 2 Christmases we tortured him with the traditional Santa photo op. Last year, we just skipped it. When we did a family photo at Prairie Lights last year, we made sure he was pretty far from Santa and he still looked terrified! When Miss E showed her hesitation toward the man in red when we made McK's Christmas present, I decided once again we should just let it go. We ended up at the mall tonight, and the kids started asking where Santa was. We walked to his "house" just to see what would happen. Miss E immediately let us know that waving to him from a distance was just fine with her. J seemed hesitant at first, but then started asking to sit on his lap. We had to wait a few minutes, but he kept telling us he wanted to talk to Santa. Sure enough, he walked right up and sat on his lap! He told Santa that he wanted cars and monster trucks. He never ceases to amaze me with how he is growing up... I'm so glad they allowed us to snap a couple of pictures!
