Our Visit to Santa!

We promised the boys last week that they would be able to see Santa at Daddy's store soon and today was the day!  They were both very excited.  On the ride over, I kept asking them what they wanted to ask Santa for and they both kept saying "Presents!"  When I asked them what kind of presents, they both decided they would like a tractor and a choo choo train!  One time Ben said "I want some money!"  I said, "Ben, what would you do with money?"  His response was "Mommy, I little, I can't have money!  You silly!"  So, again, we were back to tractors and choo choos!  When it was our turn to go sit with Santa, they both backed away from him a little, but then Conner just climbed right up.  He was fascinated with Santa's nose, for some reason, and would not stop touching it!  Ben required an extra 20 seconds of persuading, but he joined Conner on Santa's lap and had a grand ole time!  We got lots of pretty cute pictures!  Ben was pretty proud of himself for not crying this year and he shared that with several customers along the way!  (Looking at the pictures, Con is on the left and Ben is on the right!)







On the ride home, Conner was pretty upset that he didn't get to go to Santa's house, but Ben reminded him that it was too far away!  What a great way to spend a morning!
