Our Visit to Santa

Thursday morning, we headed to the Grove to visit Santa. John had a full list of items that he wanted to tell Santa that he'd like. He wanted a blue bicycle, a fire truck, a train, and a present for baby. He likes riding around the little bikes at Target. During Caillou's Christmas Movie, Caillou told his mother that he wants a fire truck, so we figure that's where he got the idea for that. Obviously, he loves trains. And, he's a kind and sharing boy, so that's why he asked for a gift for baby. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

As we approached, John was ever so excited to get closer and closer to Santa's cottage. Finally, it was our turn and Santa's helper asked John what he wanted and he went through his list. As we entered, John was ok, but as he approached Santa, he got a little timid. Santa was very nice and tried to put him at ease, but Maureen had to join the picture. At one point, Santa got me in the picture, but I wasn't dressed for a family photo. As you can see from the photo, the boys look a bit dazed, but John did ask Santa for his toys. Santa even asked him if he wanted a Thomas train. Santa really does know all.
