Santa!

Tuesday was our annual visit to see Santa.  Yes, it isn't even Thanksgiving yet but its never too early to get into the Christmas spirit.  After all, Julianna has been picking out all kinds of things to put on her Christmas list since the summer.  I hear "Mommy, can you please tell Santa I want this?" pretty much every time we go to a store.  Luckily she doesn't have Jake's razor sharp memory.

So off to Phipps Plaza we went.  Jake spent hours on his list for Santa.  I told him he could only ask for a couple things so he had to figure out what he wanted most.  So he wrote just 3 things on his list when we got there.  I don't even know what one of them was (Santa might have tough time with it).  But he is playing basketball so he asked for a hoop.  Julianna said "I just want a dollhouse."  Easy!  However when we were leaving the Santa area she found the dollhouse of her dreams.  If you look closely you will see it is the display window at Tiffany's.  She was oohing and ahhing over the dollhouse and even called Jake over to see it.  Funny I just see big fat gorgeous diamonds but she sees the most beautiful dollhouse.

When we were waiting in line I could kind of see the writing on the wall with Grace.  We got closer and her little arms got tighter and tighter around my neck.  I tried to pull her off to get a picture (Yes! I would have been totally fine with a crying picture) but it was NOT happening.  She is a strong little thing!  So...I made my mom, who constantly nags me about being in the pictures, a happy camper.

Then Grace and I made a quick exit and Jake and Julianna went over their lists with Santa.  I asked Jake what they talked about.  "Well, my list of course."  So I asked what Santa said about his list.  "Santa said okay...so that means he is going to make me everything right?"  Good grief!
