There are two things that Cole has not stopped talking about for days...wanting to go see Santa and having dinner at Red Lobster. We hardly ever go out to eat so we were really shocked at how much he talked about going to Red Lobster (a place we have never taken him). So...we decided to make a night of it. On Sunday we bundled up and went to make our annual visit to Santa. Cole loves that guy and was telling his sister all about him on the drive to the mall. He waited oh so patiently and then ran up to the big man to talk about what he wants for Christmas. Cole asked for a batman cave and a remote control transformer (we think he made that up because we cannot find one anywhere). He also asked Santa to bring Lily Kate a tea set (which we already had so I greatly encouraged him to ask for that). He was thrilled to talk to Santa but then to our amazement told us, "He was nice but he is not real. The real Santa was here last year and brought me my trains." Um....we did not know what to say so Rhonald made up some story about Santa having helpers all around the world. No questions were asked so we breathed a sigh of relief! After our visit with Santa we headed over to Red Lobster where Cole gobbled up a plate full of grilled shrimp, went to the potty 100 times (because the toilet flushed itself and that is so cool) and even got to pet and learn about real lobsters. It really was fun and yummy! We all had a great night together....now onto searching for that transformer!
