Our visit with Santa

After our conversation last month about Santa and with Thanksgiving over, Joshua was asking about Santa all the time. So with Derek having the last Friday afternoon off, we headed off to the mall to talk to Santa.

We had absolutely no expectations at all with Joshua wanting to see him, but I dressed nicely and threw Joshua in a sweater just in case I was forced to be in the picture.

He did great! We were so surprised and he went up to Santa and talked to him and everything! Plus, he brought the toy catalogue with a picture of what he was asking for. He asked for an airport and then Santa promised him that and a surprise....I wish Santa had consulted us before throwing in that last part. :)

I love being able to see the joy in a kid's face when believing in Santa Clause. Obviously you don't get it with adults, and it's a nice reminder about some of the little things about the holidays.

Here's our picture!
