Santa!!!

Santa toured around the neighborhood last night, with a super loud, exciting police escort. We went to see him at the beach and it was SO fun! Lily was so into it and had no problem with Santa. I was kind of surprised. Bella wanted Lily to sit with her, but otherwise was fine too. They told him what they wanted very clearly and were super excited about the candy canes. The younger sib's stayed back. I tried to bring Ben up just to see the big man. He waved with one hand and had a death grip on my arm with the other hand. Not sure if we'll see him again, so I'm glad we went. Lily told Santa she wants princess magnets and Santa was very happy to hear that and smiled because he knows that he grabbed those very magnets she is talking about (which are actually paper dolls) out of the dollar bin at Michael's and shoved them into the cart when she wasn't looking. Score!

Here he comes!



Waiting their turn



That envelope was a picture Bella gave to her. It almost got ugly when Santa tried to take it, thinking it was a letter to him.
