Santa

Tonight after both of the boys were tucked into bed and fast asleep Santa came knocking at our door. Paul and I woke the kids and George was able to tell Santa that he wants "a big, big, dinosaur" for Christmas. Charlie was really nervous but he tried to be a good sport.

A Santa Claus in a traditional red suit is really a wonderful thing!

Ho Ho Ho

The mall closest to our house has a Santa sponsored by Kiddie Kandids and you have to pay for your picture before you even get to see it and you can't take your own picture. Kids can still sit on Santa's lap without getting a picture taken or paying a fee but as parents we need proof that they did it so we pay the $14. Needless to say, I am really disappointed in this picture but there are more malls and more Santa's and we will keep trying.

Does anyone know where the best Santa within driving distance is stationed? I really want one that wears the full Santa suit and I'd love a real beard but those fake curly ones aren't so bad.
