Santa Visit!

 Last Saturday, we went to Kindermusik, for a playdate and to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus.  Lil G and Smunchie had such a great time, playing music, dancing and running around.  Thanks Papa and Tutu (James and Brenda) for the awesome opportunity!

Breakfast with Santa and the Reindeer

 Today, we went to the local zoo, so that Lil G and Smunchie could have breakfast with Santa Claus and two of his reindeer.  Lil G was shy at first but really warmed up to the experience.  

Lil G got to feel reindeer antlers.  Apparently, they're either very light or "I am super strong".  It's anyone's guess.

 Lil G was so excited to meet Santa Claus.  Of course, when Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas, Lil G replied, "A reindeer".  

Um....ok.

Smunchie also got to meet Santa.  She was pretty interested in what the big guy was up to.  Suspicious, even.  

She warmed up once she got to sit on Santa's lap with her big brother.  She sure loves that little man.

Meeting Santa

 On Thursday, we were fortunate enough to be invited to a party for Lil G's speech therapy.  It was held at the local children's museum and they had a Santa available for the kids to meet.  It was so wonderful, since there was no line!  The Santa was phenomenal and very good with all of the kids, including the ones with sensory issues. 

Before we got to the party, Lil G was excited to meet Santa.  He told us again and again that he would sit on Santa's lap and then Santa would sit on his lap.  We told him that Santa could NOT sit on Lil G's lap but he was pretty insistant.  

Once we got there, Lil G was a little more subdued but still walked over to the big guy.  He sat on his lap and told him, "HoHoHo".  It was a wonderful party and we felt so blessed to be a part of it.
