Oh, Santa

It was a nice calm evening at our house, when out on the lawn we spotted a deer eating quietly in the grass. It was really close to the house and the kids thought it was the neatest thing ever for it to be so close. Well, about 10 minutes after watching the deer eat we realized it was not just a normal deer in the yard. Oh, no. It was one of Santa's reindeer because 10 minutes after the deer left Santa showed up knocking at our door with candy canes for the kids.

Ogdan was not happy that the big guy in red was at his house. As soon as he saw who was at the door he yelled "no, no" and ran the opposite direction to find comfort in Daddy's arms. He wanted nothing to do with him. He would not even get close to him without screaming "NO."

Josie on the other had took Santa into the living room and started on her wish list (you know the one that changes every time you ask her want she wants). She asked Santa for a Touch Pen (AKA Leappad) and a Barbie. She told Santa that she just knew he was coming since his reindeer were in her yard just a short time ago.

Ogdan did warm up a little to Santa by the time he left allowing Brent to sit on the ground kind of close to him while holding him. He did shake his hand before he left, but was a little scared to do so. But what was really cute was right before Santa left I told Ogdan that he better tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas before he left and Ogdan started to yell "Choo Choo Train." It was so cute! So, Ogdan may not sit on his lap, but he knew what he wanted for Christmas.

Now, all the kids have to do is be extra good for a little while longer so Santa can check his list for them on the nice side and not naughty.
