A Visit with Santa!

This past Friday, Dane and I took the boys to see Santa while he was here in Brenham visiting all the good little boys and girls. We weren't really sure how Brady would do with him considering last year he screamed and cried the whole time he was near him. We had been trying to prep him for the visit. Some days he would tell that he was going to sit on Santa's lap and other days it was a flat out "NO." We knew it was all going to depend on the mood he was in that day, and we just happened to luck out that day. When it was their turn to go sit on his lap and have their picture taken, Brady went right up to him and hopped up on his lap. Of course, it was no surprise at all that Kade was more than willing to go sit on his lap and smile his photogenic smile. Kade had been waiting that whole week to tell Santa exactly what he wanted for Christmas. He told Santa he wanted a new four wheeler and a deer hunting game (boy does he want that deer hunting game.) I really hope Santa comes through with that one. Brady told Santa he wanted a new four wheeler too and a big giant gun to shoot bucks with. When we left, Brady told me that he liked Santa and that he was nice. Watching the boys sitting with Santa on his lap and seeing how excited and happy they were makes the wonderful world of parenting all the more special and so worthwhile. It's these little moments that create a warm, heartfelt memory that will last a lifetime.
