Christmas visitor

On Saturday our ward had a Christmas breakfast at 8:30 am. We didn't quite make it on time, in fact we got there quite late and found only a few mini muffins and hot chocolate left. It wasn't much but it tided us over, our own fault for being late. Then they had a dance contest which we also missed, but we made it in time for a special visitor.

Due to scheduling conflicts the real Santa was unavailable and we had a very skinny substitute, but the kids didn't seem to mind. Michael was very enthusiastic but surprisingly Karen was very scared and didn't want to go see Santa. She's been the one that has been begging me to go to the mall to see Santa and so I thought she would be excited, but she was definitely NOT excited and very scared, she made sure to keep her distance.

Michael on the other hand was very excited and surprised us by sitting right on Santa's lap and not crying or anything. Though he didn't want to look at him, he definitely wanted to tell him what he wanted for Christmas. We were very surprised when Santa asked Michael what he wanted and Michael said "Everything". Santa was surprised to and asked if he could be more specific. Michael didn't understand and thought Santa wouldn't get him what he wanted. He told me later that Santa had put him on the naughty list. I couldn't help but laugh and try to explain what "specific" meant. Aren't kids cute.

Anyway, here's a cute picture of Michael on Santa's lap and another of him trying to peek up at Santa.
