We Met Him!

Today on our Advent Calendar activity we were to go to the downtown mall and meet Santa! Peanut was very excited about this venture. What a great day it was! We made it to church, even Community Group. It seems as if we haven't been to church much lately due to illness. After church a sweet family invited us to go out to eat with them. We ate at the Indian restaurant...we love that! Peanut was so thrilled about this as the family has a little girl her age whom she has played with in Sunday School.

It was a refreshing time out with new friends, something Mommy and Daddy needed too. We also were invited to another family's home for supper this past week. They were super nice. They are very much into the Indie music scene, so Daddy had lots to talk to them about. It was so nice to be blessed by some new friendships! Looking forward to getting to know both families better and the other sweet people that we have gotten to know here in our new community.
Meeting Santa
Anyways...back to SANTA! After lunch, we debated on going home to take a nap or going to meet him. Heehee! We're so bad! Of course, Peanut desperately wanted to go see him and said, "Mom, you're just teasing!" Off we went and we were not let down. Peanut was filled with delight as we approached the jolly gentleman in the red suit. She went running into his arms and jumped into his lap. Bliss! She handed him the letter that she had written for him (Advent activity for Friday) and they read it together.
Santa's Letter
Then we handed Pumpkin off to him for pictures. Pumpkin just grinned at him and we both feared that she would test out that beard of his and pull it. She LOVES to pull hair, but pull she did not! Whew! Close Call! He did mention that Pumpkin looked like his elves at the north pole due to her little red cheeks. He also thought Pumpkin was Peanut's brother!!! Hmmm...well he is getting older, so we'll let that slide for now.
Meeting Santa
We took our pics and Peanut told him goodbye. On our way out we walked by a Christmas tree that started talking to Peanut...again...the wonder on her face was awesome!

Fun day = two worn out little girls! Great memories were made and for that we are so very thankful!
