Santa

With the craziness of the move, the holidays, and a birthday, we haven't had time to really enjoy the Christmas season. Fortunately, I had signed us up for 'Dessert with Santa' at the Louisville Recreation Center some time ago. The boys and I had dinner before we left, they put on their pj's, and we headed out in the bitter cold to see Santa.

The event was great. There was a 'holiday market' where local kids could sell homemade goodies and crafts (we spent an entire $2.25), the "Senior Singers" were the entertainment (and we all sang along and T-man did the action/signs for the songs he has learned at school), and Santa read a story. All things that further solidify our decision to live in this community 

While other kids waited in line for Santa, we grabbed some more treats and some hot cocoa. The boys were great and it was wonderful talking with them about what they were going to ask for and me just smiling at the magic of it all. From D-man commenting how he liked the older people singing to the boys wanting to go together to sit on Santa's lap, it was great. And wrapping up the night with D-man giving T-man a hug before bed and T-man asking if Santa just saw that. And, of course, the answer from me was a resounding "yes."
