Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Last night...

we all had dinner with the jolly ol' man!

My uncle owns a restaurant...

is lucky enough to have Santa dine in every year!

We were seated...

then heard Santa's bells!

And yep...Laney getting her first glimpse of the man in red!

Henry?  Wasn't too sure of Santa at first!

Oh, Emily?

Knew she was excited...

but this was her first year to be a bit shy.

Girlie is getting older and becoming a bit embarrassed.

Well, my aunt and her family sat beside us.

They have an exchange student from Finland...Mila.

And guess what?

Mila was so excited to see Santa!

Emily thought it was soooo neat that a teenager was eager to talk with Santa!

So, in all coolness, Emily was a definite shoe in too!

First up, Laney.

Sweet girl made Santa a book!

Listed everything she wants!

Next, Em was ready to tell Santa that she wanted books!

Finally Henry. 

Little guy didn't say anything...star struck.

He did eventually give Santa a big high five though!

Yessiree...visiting with Santa...

such a great evening...

my favorite Christmas tradition!

Ho!  Ho!  Ho!
