This evening we met up with Aunt Rayna, Uncle Micheal, Emily, baby Will and the Armstrongfamily to Santa on the Square. What a great time! All the kids stood next to the huge Christmas tree in amazement. “ Look at all the lights Mama!!” , Owen kept saying. They loved how it turnedcolor every few seconds. Then we waited in a LONG line to have our turn with Santa. The kids had a great timeplaying in the tree under all the twinkle lights. We only had ONE complete meltdown- not too shabby especially since there were 6 children under the age of four years of age! The meltdown occuredactually over coffee! David helped the wait for the adults by buying Starbucks holiday coffee, andall Ian could say was “ coffee coffee PLEEAASE!” So I gave in afeter it cooled. Ian cradledthat coffee cup like it was the crown jewels!Nonetheless, Ian our true coffee conisuier, was very upsetwhen I attempted to remove it the complete and utter meltdown ensued. He was devistated over a cup of coffee. He didnt want anything to do with the hot chocolate that the square was serving! He is such a riot!
Just when Ian calmed down it was FINALLY our turn to meet Santa and Mrs Santa Claus. Owenand Landen jumped right up in the sleigh with Santa. Ian, surprisingly went straight to Mrs. Claus(good choice!), and Kyhlie wanted me! Yay! Daniel was so sweet and sat right on Santas lap (and ofcourse pulled his beard and attempted to pick Santa’s nose! Haha!). Owen told Santa, “ My Babbofixed my Jeep, so I dont need one now!” And thats it! He told Santa nothing more! So I guess everything will be a bonus that Santa brings, now that he completely satisfied! What a great family night with great friends!
