This time of year is so fun with children. We have the opportunity to introduce (or to re-teach) the story of the birth of Christ, and we get to participate in fun Christmas activities and traditions during this time of celebration. It's a magical time of year.
My kids have been behaving excellent. We have Mr. Elf that keeps an eye on them each day and reports to Santa each night. Mr. Elf has REALLY helped this mama out this year. Stone is such a sharp kid, and I'm not sure how many more years we will get out of him believing in Santa and Mr. Elf, so I've really been trying to soak it all up. I told Cliff I hope we have several more years with him believing, and while Cliff hopes for the the same, he said, "Yeah. When he's 14, we'll just have to Facebook all his friends and tell them to play along." hahaha.
Today we took the kids to see Santa during Cliff's lunch. They were so excited, and so nervous! We were waiting for Santa to get back from his lunch break, and when he returned, he didn't seem too jolly. But by the time it was my kids' turn, he was incredible. He took so much time to talk to each of my kids. He had conversations with them, smiled with them, and then gave them some candy canes. He was awesome.
I got to take some candids while he was chatting away...
