Santa!!

Last week we went to see Santa with our dear friend Lisa Freeman. She worked in our store, and has become a great friend. She treated us to a day at the Galleria complete with a visit to Santa, a ride on the carousel, lunch and picking out a toy at the toy store. We started with a picture with Santa. Tad didn't like Santa last year and that didn't change this year. So I ended up in the picture to keep the peace. Santa actually hid behind the bench and when we were all settled he got the go ahead to stand up. Tad had no idea that Santa was right behind him. At least you can still fool them at this age. However I did feel a little bad after seeing the kids in front of us and behind us screaming about sitting in Santa's lap. The things we make our kids do, but guess what - we'll do it again next year.

This was also the first time Tad and Liam rode a carousel. Tad would not get on the reindeer so I had to hold him. I am sure next year I probably won't be able to get him off of it. Lisa is on the left side of the picture holding Liam in the sleigh.

At the toy store we picked out a tool set for him since he is always trying to help his dad out with our home projects.
