Last week we took the kids to downtown Macy's to visit Santa. I had talked to the girls about sitting in Santa's lap and telling him what they wanted for Christmas, but all the while wondering if they would actually get on Santa's lap. The girls did not want to sit on Santa's lap or even sit next to him unless mommy was there, but at least they weren't screaming like last year (a big improvement). Ben told Santa he wanted the Polar Express train and "Blue Mountain Mystery" a Thomas movie. (check and check). Samantha and Allison asked for "pink" toys and "orange and purple" toys respectively. Their favorite colors. I think I have the pink and purple covered but where Allison came up with orange as her favorite color is beyond me.
Each year gets more fun with Ben. We have been doing a countdown to Christmas/when Santa comes, the Elf on the Shelf tradition was started and they love to go look for him every morning and see where he has moved too, we have been watching lots of Christmas movies and reading Christmas books. Ben over the last day has been asking questions about if we have a chimney and how Santa is going to get through the glass that is on our fireplace :) One time he just stood there looking at it and you could see the wheels turning in his head trying to figure it out. I never knew how many white lies I was going to have to tell him about this whole Santa bit :) We are almost ready for Christmas next week!
