Here comes Santa Claus

Today we had our church Christmas party. We had breakfast, enjoyed looking at displays of different countries and their Christmas traditions, and even got to visit with Santa. Santa, of course, was the highlight for Logan. It's all he talked about on the way there. He just wanted to see Santa. But when we pulled into our church parking lot, we had to wrestle with Logan to get him out of the car. He was determined that we had tricked him into going to church. We had to reassure him over and over again that, yes, Santa would be coming by. When Santa made his grand entrance, both of my kids were in complete awe. Olivia started laughing and ran right for him...Logan wasn't far behind. However once they got closer to him, they both froze. I should be more sympathetic to my kids. Afterall, a guy wearing a big red suit with a white beard can be intimidating. But I just thought it was hilarious to watch them react in such a way. We had to force them into the picture. Olivia screamed her loudest scream and Logan clung onto Sam for dear life. Maybe next year it will work better.
