Santa!!

We just sort of lucked out today....definitely a case of being in the right place at the right time.  (And, that normally does not happen to us!!!) 

Just so happened, we were at Summit Fair shopping for a new suit for Daddy.  As we walked out of one store, on our way into another, we noticed what appeared to be a big, red Santa chair sitting all alone....not a soul around. Hmmm...strange.

But, after we came out of the second store.....THERE HE WAS!  Sitting all alone in his chair. SANTA!  And, not a single person around him! 

Could we really be THAT lucky???  After all, the line for the mall Santa we had seen a couple weeks earlier was outrageous!  So, off we went....literally sprinting down to see Santa, trying to beat the rush of other kids!  We looked around, and still no one.  We had Santa all to ourselves!  Talk about luck!

(Now...if Mommy had only known beforehand that we would be visiting Santa, she would have made sure we had nice clothes on...)

Cole hopped right up on Santa's lap, spilling his entire list of what he wanted and telling Santa how good he had been all year long.  Chase, on the other hand......wouldn't go NEAR Santa!  He clung to me like glue.  At one point, I even tried to walk over near Santa thinking that maybe the 3 of us could be in the picture together.  But, Chase wasn't having it.  He took off running the other direction.  Sigh.)

No pic of Chase with Santa this year.  But, at least we got a couple with Cole!
