Goodbye Santa Claus

Whew, it was a two-party day and I am tuckered out. This morning the girls had their preschool Christmas program, with a guest visit from the jolly man himself. In case there was any doubt, they are TOTALLY over that whole scared-of-Santa thing. Ro squirmily waited for her name to be called and once she heard it took off like a shot and practically vaulted into Santa's lap, where she once again confirmed that she wants TubaNuts for Christmas:
Outta my way, Santa called my name!!!

Then this afternoon we went to my dad's birthday party and the girls had so much fun I had to drag them home. I had to chuckle when my folks' good friend Chuck (who just happens to have white hair and a beard) came in and Ro clutched my arm and dramatically whispered "Mama, how come Santa Claus no have on mittens?" Then when we were leaving I asked the girls to say goodbye to everyone and Ro waved at Chuck and said "Goodbye Santa Claus!"

    What a fun couple of days of partying! Christmas is the best!

    2 visits from Santa in 2 days? Whee!! Glad you were all able to share the pre-school program. Love the look on the kids faces when daddy arrives.

    Still have my thinking cap on about the tubanuts! Those girls have us all stumped!!

    Hope you have a great weekend sweetie. xo

    Hello there!

    I am a enjoyer of your blog-- came across through another friend's blog. Just wanted to stop by and say how incredibly adorable your little ones are! I think the one of your daughter running to Santa Claus has made my Christmas this season! Really! :0)

    Oh my goodness!! Santa Chuck would be a huge hit at our house! He's better than all of the Santas we've had so far this year. How lucky for the girls! Maybe they need to get Santa Chuck a nice pair of gloves this Christmas! If he'd come visit us I'd be glad to give him gloves, hats, and scarves!

    Thanks for making my Christmas even merrier!

    Hugs,
    June

    I love this story about 'Santa'! When Tara (my daughter) and Dirk were getting married, Rachel (the twins' oldest sister) was three. The wedding was a small affair at our house and Rachel was the flower girl. Right in the middle of the ceremony Rachel interrupts the wedding with a loud --- "Why is Santa here?" and sure enough right there was Dirk's uncle who had snow white hair and beard looking just like Santa all dressed for a wedding! This fine gentleman has been doing Santa for many years at malls and partys in the area. In fact this is the first Santa the twins ever visited about 6 weeks after they came home from China -- with many tears I might add :)
