Santa Visit 2010

I was looking through pictures last night and I decided that even though I'm late on posting many fun things we've done this past year, I still want to share them and have them on our blog "family journal". So here is Belated Christmas post #1!

We went to the local library to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. They came to read a story to the kids. Aubrey was super excited about it, and I was thrilled to not have to wait in a huge line at the mall to see Santa : ) There were only about 20-30 people there tops so it was just right.

This is Aubrey anxiously awaiting Santa's arrival.

Asher on the other hand could care less...and was ready for bed : )

Santa read "The Night Before Christmas"

Aubrey waiting patiently in line...

Asher wasn't much for posing by that point, but Aubrey had a great time. She asked Santa for a camel! No problem, right?? (I told her it would have to be a toy camel though because Santa Claus only makes toys)

As we were leaving she said to me "Mommy, why is Santa Claus just a man?" ( oh no...) Maybe she was expecting him make a bit more magical entrance than just walking in the front door : ) I told her he was a man but that he was a special man who had Christmas magic.

She said, "When he takes off his special suit he's just a man, mommy." Seriously? This is like the first Christmas that she's even understanding/excited about Santa and we're already questioning his existence? Come on! : ) She was still full of questions after that, but we seemed to answer them all to her satisfaction at least...until next year!
