Our elf, Toots, is back! On December 1st, he showed up with LOTS of goodies. He had a note for them along with 25 Christmas books, PJs that said Santa's Helper for each of them, new Christmas cups and their advent calendars. Whew!
Back in November, we happened to be at Home Depot and they had a letter writing station for letters to Santa. They each wrote to him. The day after Toots arrived, they BOTH got letters from the North Pole for Santa!
We visited Santa three times this year. I don't know if you're wondering, but each time, my kids added to their list. (When we were home in Springfield last weekend, my mom wanted to take the kids to see Santa. I declined saying I don't think Santa can afford a fourth trip from us.)
Our first trip to see the big guy was our annual visit to the Santa at Bass Pro. I love looking at the progression of how they've grown up and reacted to Santa. Last year, Ireland was NOT a fan. This year, she started off a little uneasy, but came through in the end. She was fascinated by his soft jacket. On this trip, Ireland asked for Shopkins and Cohan asked for a super fast remote control car.
They love playing the games after seeing Santa at Bass Pro.
Bucko would have been proud of Cohan's bow and arrow form.
Our second time to visit Santa was at Ireland's dance recital. Ireland was still unsure of Santa, but loved "Mrs. Santa."
Our third trip (and hopefully last) to see Santa was brunch with Santa at our country club. The whole Watson crew was there. The kids behaved perfectly and we loved seeing them all visit Santa.
