Here Comes Santa Claus

Did you miss me?  Between parties, presents, wrapping, planning, cooking, shopping and the sleeping in between, I had no time left for blogland.   So, even though I love Christmas and am sad when it's over, it's also a little bit of a relief.  Now, I actually have time again!  So, be prepared.  You are about to see an entire months worth of blog posts in the next few days.  And lots of pictures!  First up, Santa!  We saw Santa 3 times.  The REAL Santa comes to Jon's work.  The others are just elves dressed up like Santa because Santa can't be everywhere during Christmas.  (Thanks Mom for the excuse from my childhood!)  Jon's work does a really nice job.  They've had the same Santa all 3 years that he's been there.  The kids see Santa, they have a professional photographer to take pictures (which they give you), the kids get a cookie, a juice, and a goody bag, and there's a puppet show to watch.  It's a lot of fun.  All the kids were actually pretty good.  For the first time, Adam actually sat on Santa's lap without crying and told him what he wanted.  Santa even got Kelsey to be calm for a moment or two to get a picture.  Anyway, enjoy!  [photopress:Adam_talking_Santa.jpg,full,centered][photopress:Adam_Santa.jpg,full,centered][photopress:Emily_talking_Santa.jpg,full,centered][photopress:Emily_Santa.jpg,full,centered][photopress:Robbie_talking_Santa.jpg,full,centered][photopress:Robbie_Santa.jpg,full,centered][photopress:Kelsey_Santa1.jpg,full,centered][photopress:Kelsey_Santa2.jpg,full,centered][photopress:Kids_Santa_1.jpg,full,centered]
