Santa bust

Every year we go out to dinner and then take the kids to my old development to see Christmas lights and Santa. We went out on Friday and the kids were all looking forward to going.  Last year Jon went up with them, but was able to stand off to the side.  We had high hopes for this year.  We were hoping this would be the year that all four would happily walk up and talk to Santa.

That didn't happen.  Ben and Sam walked up, sat down and got down to business.  Ellie and Zach lost all their bravery. They wouldn't let go of Jon and I'm not even sure they made eye contact with Santa. They all named something they were hoping for this year and we left.  Of course half way down the street Ellie got upset because she wanted to sit on his lap.  We offered to take her back, but she decided she had to go potty right that second and she wanted nothing more to do with Santa.

Maybe next year!
