S-A-N-T-A

there was a jolly, jolly man and Santa was his name-o

S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A 

and Santa was his name-o

these are the words to one of Ashlyn's christmas program songs I walked in on them practicing today in her classroom. So fun. So adorable.

very leading cause... Tonight we went to see Santa!

It was perfect. So much better than I was anticipating. My kids rocked it! 

We walked up and Santa was waving to the kids. Ashlyn instantly grabs for Eric's leg. Hiding her face. We scoop both kids up and start talking to Santa all together. Santa asked Eric and I to sit down and take a family picture. {we decided to as a back up if we could not get the kids to take one... but as you'll see we did not need to buy it} Then we got off and sat the kids down! They were perfect. Colton wouldn't smile for the camera. But he was smiling when Santa asked him to give him a hi-five! They both sat there for like 3 minutes...the best part about going early in the month! Just talking away. I wish I could have gotten video! 

After we left the area I instantly pulled out my camera and video-ed. I asked Ashlyn who she met. And what she asked for. "Candy" was still her response. So then later she said "Oh Mommy and Starbucks!" We laughed and said seriously our 2 year old just asked for Starbucks! Adorable but just an insight for what is to come...she is 2 going on 20... pray for me!

 Ashlyn asked Santa for "Candy"

Colt just gave a hi-five!

Then once we got home. We ate our yummy Amici's pizza and salad...while watching Elf. It was the only Christmas Movie on tv. And our kitchen table was filled with boxes of Ornaments. Ready to decorate the tree... thats next!
