Santa

Last night we visited Santa. After attempting to meet the big man twice at two separate malls and finding wait times of 4.5 hours or them cutting the line off 2 hours before closing. We were frustrated. However, we made a reservation (yes a reservation to see Santa) on a Monday night and finally the kids had their opportunity to present arguments for presents. 

Ellie and Calvin spent time writing and drawing their lists. Calvin drew Santa and Ellio (our elf) and dictated a list. He really didn’t have too many things he wanted but the list included: a volleyball, a basketball, and balls. Ellie’s list was all American Girl stuff and a pair of slippers. 

When they had their chance the kids were very excited. Ellie more so than Calvin. Santa asked E if she had kept her room clean all year...she didn’t give a direct answer. So Santa asked Calvin if she had kept it clean and C promptly replied, “No!”. Santa complimented E on her handwriting as well. When asked what he told Santa he wanted Calvin said, “he can read my list”. 

All in all it was successful and we got some cute photos.
