meeting santa

we've never done the santa-thing before.  maybe, a little on purpose?  i guess my reservations on hyping up this fictional character makes me a tad uneasy.  i vividly remember my big brother spilling that beans that santa wasn't real.  (i know.  i'm sorry.  but, if you didn't know by now, you probably should...) 

up until this year, it was in my control.  oh, but the kids grow up.  they hear things.  they find out from friends at school, and it's all strangers talk about in stores - whattaya askin' santa for?  it happens.  so this year, we asked jb if he wanted to visit santa.  with a quick YEP! we ventured down to our local toy store to check out this santa personality.  little did i know, we'd be meeting santa himself!

i mean, c'mon - look at him!  check the beard!  and, his excitement in meeting The Miebs Duo, you know, the ones taking up space on his naughty list?!  he was very sweet.  he listened intently when dylan asked for chips.  he even made a written note when jb asked for a blue dump truck.  maybe i can be ok with santa making their 5 minutes of the day.  even ben was tickled to meet ol' st. nick.
