This past weekend I took the older boys to a Winter Festival that the base offered. There were crafts, games, snacks, Christmas movies, and of course Santa. We have never been ones to push the boys to have pictures with Santa, or to sit on Santa's lap...in fact we have been the opposite. The boys know about Santa, and know the story of Santa delivering the presents...but they also know that we believe that Christmas isn't just about Santa. This year was the first time one of the boys asked to go see Santa. Seth was very excited about sitting on Santa's lap, and mostly excited about the candy cane he would receive when he did so!
Santa: "What's your name?"
Seth: "Seth."
Santa: "What do you want for Christmas?"
Seth: (after pondering and looking around for a moment) "I want that one!"
(pointing to one of the present at Santa's feet)
Santa: "Ha-ha....I don't think you want that one buddy, it's empty."
Be sure to tell your Mom and Dad what you want for Christmas, o.k."
Seth: "O.k..." (Looking very confused).
I'm not sure Seth was all that impressed with his visit with Santa...he would have enjoyed it much more if he had received his present right then and there!!!

Super cute. Will has talked to Santa a couple of times but will not sit on his lap and Grace is fine with waving from a distance. I love seeing what you guys are doing and your blog is so good. You will have to give me some pointers. We are hoping to start ours very soon.
