The jolly man

On Tuesday night we headed over to The Club to see the big, fat, jolly man.  Yep, Santa himself made an appearance.  As Maxwell said later that night, “We thought it was going to be one of his helpers but that was really Santa!”  Love it!

I really didn’t know how Maxwell was going to do.  Up to that point, he had zero desire to sit on Santa’s lap.  But, we’ve been talking it up about how he needs to tell Santa what he wants so he’ll have time to get his elves to make it in his workshop.  His response? “It’s fine. His elves can just go to Target.”  ha!

Well, we saw Santa and he did great!  He nervously sat on his lap and told him that he wanted “two diggers” and then Santa asked if he wanted any other toys and he said, “no, that’s all.”  Sweet boy.  He then told Santa that Spencer wants “a dump truck, that’s all.”

I love him.

Spencer did fine.  He didn’t fuss…even though this picture makes it look otherwise!  Not sure where this face came from!

On the drive home after dinner Maxwell was telling me that he wants the two diggers and then, in a whisper, said “and also three other surprises but I can’t tell.” I convinced him to tell me and he said, again in a whisper, “a dump truck, a crane and a jackhammer.” I’m not sure where this whole “surprise” thing came from and the idea that Santa only brings 2 presents?  Maybe from some of the books he’s read?  I personally think he’s been good enough to get the two diggers and a few surprises but we’ll see Christmas morning!  🙂

Ho Ho Ho!
