Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town

Santa has been coming to see the kids for years now before Christmas. He says it's to give his reindeer a warm up ride before the big night. We weren't sure that he would be able to come this year but after Trevan had a big run in with some "non-believers" at school, there was a special request put in. After all, Santa takes care of those who believe. Trevan told the big kids at school that they were all "full of it because Santa comes to his house before Christmas every year and his Mom and Dad are right there."



Payten surprised us all and went right for him as soon as she saw him in the door! She kept yelling, "Mom it's Santa! See. See. It's Santa! Look mom it's Santa!" She did not speak a word directly to him but her siblings were quick to speak up for her requesting a dolly that goes pee-pee in the potty. Mommy would rather have a Payten that goes pee-pee in the potty but to each his own right?



Haven is always willing to make a new friend and quick to ask for what she wants. This day it happened to be a dolly. Yesterday it was a Barbie with a horse. The day before that it was a Barbie jeep. The day before that...



Brayden was the ever more reserved one with the strange man but Santa finally got it out of him that he "just wanted to maybe ask for two things please. A monster truck with buttons and a D-Rex dinosaur that could guard his bed and attack on demand." Santa likes it when they are specific:~/ He was very kind and thanked him for the candy so we were pretty confident that Santa would be extra nice to Brayden Boy.






Trev was sweet and told Santa that he could just surprise him this year! I think those are Santa's favorites!



Rylan Jake was very serious when he was asking Santa for a Mario Kart game for his DS. He knew Santa could deliver!



"You're not all grown yet B and mom is holding on to every last little bit of your childhood so get on Santa's lap dang it!"






So once again Santa, thank you for making a special trip to the Drapers house. We know that it is a crazy time of year for you and your elves but it makes the kids' Christmas. So we'll send you off with hugs and kisses letting you know we love you. Til next year...
