Ok I feel a lot like Elf, I get giddy when I hear things like "Santa is coming!" Can't help it, my parents did a good job of getting us excited about Christmas when we were younger. Matt & I hope to do the same for our kids. We headed to the mall last night in the frigid air in hopes of getting to see the big man without a screaming fit... SUCCESS! Santa was busy feeding his reigndeer when we got there because it was indeed in the middle of dinnertime. Thankfully M & D made the wait like good little toddlers even with growling tummies :) We didn't get a smiling photo but there was no screaming and they genuinely liked Old St. Nick! They couldn't stop waving to him when we left! Enjoy friends :)
