So, if you were reading from a recent holiday post, here is the rest of the story on Santa! I got SO EXCITED about this part of the holiday basically because it has been a hope of mine to keep the magic of Christmas alive for my children for as long as possible! Ayden is a quick one and I started becoming afraid of him figuring things out this Christmas, but luckily, he still believes!! When he wondered why the Santa Train santa wasn't the "real Santa," I realized that in order to keep the hope alive, I would have to track down the real Santa from the library that we had visited in the past couple of years . Well, the real Santa was not going to be at the library this year, but Julio happened to be talking to our neighbor Jim about this issue. Jim told him that the real Santa from the library is actually a friend of his fathers! Jim emailed his dad for us to ask where his Santa friend was going to be this Christmas and we found out the two locations! I think it was at one of the downtown museums on a Friday night and then at a Holly Springs restaurant on Saturday morning. I think that I planned to go to the museum on Friday night and then accidently spaced it until it was too late that evening, but we made it to the restaurant for Saturday morning breakfast and a visit to see the "REAL SANTA!!!!" The kids were in awe!! And this completely made my whole day!! Oh, the joys of having children and watching them discover and enjoy life...this one ranked high on my list for sure!
Ayden reading Santa the items on his list! He wrote the list all by himself!
I think Gabriel was skeptical of Santa the whole time, I couldn't get a smile from him. :)
The whole fam with the Real Santa!!
