I had prepped Liam about Santa Clause, telling him he was a jolly 'old man that gives gifts by the millions and flies on a magical sleigh; so when Jolly 'ol St. Nick actually arrived, it was a little mind boggling.
Julian didn't care who he was. All he wanted for Christmas was his two front teeth (which you can't see, but had actually cut in right during our Christmas break). Santa was generous and gave him a little ducky book too.
Touchdown!Liam and Julian's first Santa encounter this year only took 20 minutes of coaxing Liam, and then another 30 minutes of me standing in line with a bunch of other naughty children.
Our boy's were the last of many to sit on Santa's lap that night- you could have probably guessed by Santa's not-so-jolly look.
Santa Encounter #2Later on Liam was surprised again to find Santa Clause arrive during our Christmas vacation at my Grandpa's house. This Santa came bearing gifts of Cracker Jacks wrapped in $5 bills!
All the Scary Santa encounters proved worthy as Liam woke up Christmas morning to find that even his not-so-jolly-even-a-little bit-scary-Santa had come to give a gift after all.
