Tis the season!

We started our Christmas season with a roar this past weekend. Gregg and I had two Christmas parties: Friday was Gregg's work party and Saturday the neighbors had a party. On Saturday we took Sam to a breakfast with Santa at our elementary school. We also put up our Christmas tree, decorations and did a little shopping.
Sam shocked us when we went to see Santa. We were standing in line and he saw a few other kids walking up to sit on Santas lap. After we figured out what was going on he took off running to do what the other kids were doing. I actually had to hold him back until it was his turn. When it was his turn he just ran right up to Santa and sat down. Once he was sitting on his lap he totally clammed up but gave Santa a huge grin when he gave him a candy cane. I am just thankful we were behind a bunch of kids that were not afraid of Santa because he may have reacted totally different.


The donuts may have been the highlight of the breakfast with Santa.

Who would think a swimming pool of cotton balls could provide such entertainment?
