It was a day we had all been waiting for...the precious visit with Santa! Cole was beside himself with excitement as we all got dressed and headed to the mall to see Santa. Cole was allowed to ask for 3 things and he has had his list ready for months...a transformer rescue station, a dinosaur and a spider man toy. Luckily there was no line and he was able to march right up to Santa and hang out for a bit. Cole has always loved Santa. Even as a baby when other kids were screaming Cole was in awe. Lily Kate, however, was not so thrilled with the visit and would not go near Santa unless I was holding her. Santa asked her age and then did not even attempt to hold her....evidently he has had a few "experiences" with kiddos her age. Cole was kind enough to ask for a baby stroller and a shopping cart for Lily since she was too scared to sit with him. It was a quick but sweet visit followed by a yummy lunch in the food court...Cole's choice. Rhonald and I were shocked at the first thing Cole said as we sat down to eat. He asked, "So, how come Santa asked us our names and how old we are? Doesn't he already know that stuff?" Umm....aren't you 3 little boy?! Rhonald and I quickly came up with a reason why Santa would ask such a silly question and changed the subject. This question came to us after he had already asked me if I was the one who was moving Bob, our elf on the shelf, or if he truly had magic from Santa. He is too smart for his own good! I really hope he puts all questions aside with this topic and simply lets himself believe in the magic for a little while longer.
