A few days ago Alyssa and I were walking around Target and she asked me 'Mommy, who's that" I was trying to decide on which toy to buy and so without looking up I said "I don't know sweetie who is it?". She replied in a really low whisper "that's Santa Mommy!". I looked up and this older grey haired man with a full beard and mustache was looking right at her. She was totally quiet. As soon as he walked around the aisle, she asked "whered Santa go Mommy?" Well, we walked around the same aisle and there he was! Lyssa became so excited yelling out "Santa right there!" By the way, this older man was wearing jeans and a flannel jacket, no Santa suit. He looked at Lyssa and winked and then walked away. We never saw him again. Although for the remainder of our shopping experience it was "Whered Santa go Mommy?". We go to Gymboree which is literally two doors down from the mall's main entrance which is the place where you can get your picture taken with Santa. We see Santa at least two times a day, four days a week for the last three weeks.
Tyler took her up to Santa and she was all smiles right up until he went to put her on Santa's lap which as you can imagine she was having none of it. So, Tyler had to sit on Santa's lap and then Lyssa sat on Tyler's lap. What a great big brother right??
We will put up our tree tomorrow I promise!! between two church services, a small outing to our cousin's house, taking a friend to the airport and taking a baptism class...oh and a 2 hour nap. It will happen!
