After our initial exciting run-ins with the big man this year we weren’t so sure that our kids wanted to see Santa again.  So yesterday we asked them is they needed another visit with Santa.  Jude was all set.  He did not want to go again.  Gigi, on the other hand, looked at me with panic in her eyes, “But Mommy!  I wasn’t all cuted up when we saw Santa before!”  So, of course, we had to go see him again, this time all “cuted up”.

The next hour or so was spent with the kids in the shower and swarming around me (the water went cold on poor Jude just as he got shampoo all over his face, poor baby) as we got ready for Santa.  Jude was easy, bath, brush, dress, DONE!  Gigi was much more, shall we say, particular.  And we had a fabulous time making her look as particular as she wanted.  Which translates to hot rollers.  Hot rollers + Guinevere’s hair = hair that most little girls (and many princesses) would die for.  By the time she was all dolled up and ready we were at peak time, of course, so we headed to the mall where we sat on Santa’s lap.  I missed most of the conversation, but I think Santa must be confused about what to get Jude.  He has changed his mind SO many times.  Gigi stuck with her seasonal request (Barbie Doll Set & Scrapbooking supplies) while just has asked for a dinosaur, an airplane, transformers, a Super Why doll, Star Wars Lego, books and a fishing pole.  All at different times, quite dependent on  the last thing he saw before we ask him the question.  It’s charming seeing how excited he is about the holiday.

 

Afterwards we headed away from the mall and went out to lunch, played around at the park, recorded a few songs.  Overall, a good day.  Merry Christmas!
