How cool is it that we live in a town that has its very own Santa House? Midland, MI is where Santa likes to hang out from the end of November until Dec. 23rd. He even has a house right on Main Street.
Today we visited our bigger girls at school (where Lili allowed herself to be admired by a slew of first and third graders), then we took them out of school a few minutes early and headed down town to visit Santa at his house! Lili was completely impressed. There was so much to look at in Santa's house.
"I want that!"
Sophia had decided there were a few questions for which she needed answers:
1) Why do they call you "Santa"?
2) How many elves do you have?
3) How do reindeer fly?
By the time she actually got on his lap, however, she was so star struck, she forgot to ask any of her questions. The big guy did most of the talking and Sophie asked for the usual: surprises. Emma and Sophie both had a turn on Santa's lap and spent some quality time discussing important Christmas issues. Whether they had been naughty or nice was obviously a topic of conversation which invoked some serious consideration. After a bit of soul searching both assured Santa that they have been pretty nice.
"I don't mean to sound greedy, but I actually would like a Nintendo DS this Christmas."
And of course in the end ALL of the little girls had to pile onto Santa's lap for a photo op, and he didn't seem to mind that a bit.
