A Day of Santa

Yesterday, we had a Santa day. All of the most fun activities in town -- all going on in one day! First, we went to Breakfast with Santa at the mall. Here, Drew asked for a PingPong Table. He must have heard daddy saying how much he wants one the day before! :) Funny. Santa loved Drew almost as much as Drew loves Santa, so he even sat down and ate his breakfast with Drew. Drew didn't eat a bite!! He just stared at the old man the whole time!! :)



Then, we went straight from there to a parking lot downtown where we waited and played in the snow for Santa and The Mrs. to arrive. Then, Santa walked us over to the Rivoli where we got to tell him what we want for Christmas once again... This time, it was a BIG jingle bell and a drum set. There we go!! That's more like it!! :)
Came home, did a little sledding (very little - wipe out first try) and the kids took a very, very quick nap. That night, Drew and I headed down to the Amtrack Station for some dancing, hot chocolate, and to board the Polar Express Bus (train was very delayed so we took 3 buses to the North Pole) to see Santa ONE MORE TIME. This time, he wanted a sled that wouldn't make him wipe out. Good choice! :) Drew fell asleep about 3 minutes before arriving home. We were ALL beat at the end of the day. What a day. We spent much time focusing on all the secular aspects of Christmas. Great. Today, we are off to church to teach him the real reason for the season, although yesterday was fun too. We all need to OD on Santa at least once during our life time, right?! :) Ha. Fun day I thought I'd share.
