We got brave and dressed the little ones up and took them on the 30 or so minute journey to the mall (aka the north pole) to see Santa claus. I was actually very suprised at how good they were. I dont recall any running, crying, fit throwing, or other random embrassment. There was no wait at all to see Santa, and the boys were a little in awe of how he was just right there, so they stayed back and kind of hid behind a sign for a few minutes and just watched him. When we finally got up there, Trenton's first mission was to make sure Santa acknowledged his nice sweater. =) Then they both hopped up, Dylan rattled off his list of things he wanted, the one I remember is a dinosaur with a remote control that really walks. Trenton was awe struck after the sweater thing and couldnt make any words come out. His lips were moving, but no sound. Santa laughed at him and asked him if he liked to talk to himself. Finally Trenton spotted some big fake wrapped presents under Santas tree, and decided that he wanted one of those. Santa told him they were fake so Trent said he just wants a big pretty box for Christmas! We capped off out our afternoon out with lunch... again..I was amazed at the lack of melt downs, that almost never happens... and then a ride on the carousel for everyone. Yay..mom loves nothing more than spinning around over and over right after lunch! It was really a lot of fun though. I love spending days like that with the family!
