We visited Santa at Shopko to get a photo taken with him. He was sitting on a chair when we walked in. Rhoslyn didn't want anything to do with him and stood in the door, refusing to move. Alex was very excited to see Santa, but was very shy when we got there.
Eventually Alex started talking to Santa about angry birds and was so happy to hear that Santa also plays angry birds! Who would have thought?! =) We did manage to get one photo (the kids did NOT want to sit on his lap or even stand near him without us pushing them closer)! On the way home Alex asked if that was the real Santa or just someone dressed in a Santa costume. Billy and I were pretty stunned by this question. We asked him why he thought that and he said that Santa's eyes looked different. Maybe he is remembering Santa at Grandma and Grandpa Osowski's house. Hopefully, when he sees Santa on Christmas Eve it doesn't make him question even more....
We also had family movie night and watched The Polar Express. I was afraid Alex might not make it through the movie, but he did!
The kids also had a lot of fun decorating their gingerbread houses. We had a bit of a disaster with them because we were out of cream of tarter and apparently that helps keep the "glue" stuff for the candy and keeping the houses together. Oh well, it was fun!
We also got our new stockings in the mail! They are hung up and waiting for Santa to fill them up.

| It's hard to see, but the kids are laying on the floor watching the movie. Just the light of the tree and the tv. |
