Visiting Santa Claus

So Nathan was able to meet Santa twice on Saturday and LOVED him everytime!! It was lots of fun! Our local RAC advertised a Santa, we walked in the door, Nathan spotted that man in the red suit and just ran "Santa Santa" he yelled. It was just too cute. We were the only ones there so he got to just run up and jump on Santas lap (he needed no encouragement) Now this is where it gets funny. He was soo excited- so happy, had his arm around Santa's neck and they HE DEADPANNED!! He didn't say a word, didn't smile for the pictures, didn't move!!! He jsut has THIS look on his face- Santa then asked Nathan if he wanted a treat, slowly took him off his lap, Nathan got a candy cane, I told him to say thank you. He whispered a thank you to the associate that gave him the candy. I turned him around and told him to thank Santa. Instantly, he was back - alert, excited- and he yelled 'Thanks Santa!" and we left. All the way home, he talked about seeing Santa and that Santa gave him his candy! I couldn't help but laugh at the picture we are going to pick up next week (I promise to post it!)

Later the night was our ward Christmas party, again when Nathan saw Santa he was soo excited! He yelled "Santa! Santa!" had a hard time standing in line and just couldn't wait, ran up to Santa sat on his lap and once again.... he deadpanned! 

 I do have pictures of that one!

 And one of Ammon too!

Like the tongue Ammon has found? :)

As we were leaving, Nathan again had to yell three or four times "bye Santa!" And all the way home he talked about how Santa was going to come to his house!
The boys received bags of goodys and Nathan dutifully put his "lunch sack" a gift from Santa under the tree last night before he went to bed! I got such a kick out of the 'lunch sack' (where do kids pick up this stuff?)

Sorry for the long post but if you made it thought you know why I had to post it all- Kids are priceless, thier little funnies are just too cute to gloss over and its Christmas!!

 Hope you all have a great start to this last week before Christmas!! Its almost here!!!
