Santa 07

It has become a family tradition that when we go see Santa at the mall that we all go & we all share this time together with him. This year was no different....

Matt, the kids & I headed to the mall one foggy snowy night so the wait wasn't long at all. After we all sat down with Santa he pulled out his book & just drew the kids in.

By the end of the 10 minute visit Santa, he knew the kid's wish list & he also told the kids to help out around the house & of course be good. The kids were so very excited.
We do believe in Santa... Santa is the excitement in a child's eyes when they feel a connection. He's an Innocent part of childhood. In our house he is a piece of Christmas, but only a small part. A way I heard the action of gift giving on Christmas is "When we give gifts at Christmas, we are giving the JESUS in each others hearts a give for his Birthday". The gift of giving is LOVE anyway you look at it. We have him as a part of our Nativity scene which JESUS will be opened the 1st thing Christmas morning.
