We saw Santa three days in a row and Ava was in heaven. While most kids are intimidated by the man in the red suit, Ava approached Santa every time like a longtime friend that she hasn't seen in years. It just so happened that on two different holiday excursions, we had the unplanned fortune of seeing Santa.
Last week, we met with the "Momtourage" for our weekly get together and decided to check out the Macy's Christmas display depicting elves at work. At the end of the display we decided to pop in to say "hi" to Santa. Ava immediately sat on his lap and gave him a big hug. She whispered to him "All I want for Christmas is a deer, that's all..nothing else."
The second day, we saw Santa was a planned appointment to get our yearly photos with the "real" Santa. Sid portrays a wonderful Santa and the kids just love him. He takes the time with the kids and makes the extra effort to make the them feel comfortable. Before taking picture, he and the kids sat down on the floor and chatted. There was a lot of high fiving going on and Ava throwing her head back in laughter. She kept saying "Santa, you crack me up!"
On third day, we went to see an entertaining Christmas play about an elf named Albert who loses Rudolph's red nose. Ava was captivated and really enjoyed herself while Ruby was less than impressed and decided that schmoozing with the ladies behind us way better. Afterwards Santa was taking toy requests along with free pics... courtesy of your own camera.
No, I know some of you are wondering if Ava caught on to the fact that all the Santas looked different. She did. And had no problem pointing out the differences to each of them.
"Why does your beard look not for real?"
"Why are you not wearing a hat?"
"Where is your Santa pants?"
"I have black boots like you, why you not wearing your black boots?"

She sure has warmed up to Santa, unlike the first time she saw him when we went to the Holidazzle parade and stopped by Macy's to see Santa.
Well, I was thinking the same thing about how all the Santa's looked different. My kids haven't seen santa in years. We used to take Austin every year, and then Carson, and Parker. But Carson had an anxiety attack the first time we took him so we took him again same thing. He's afraid of Santa, Chuck E. Cheese, anything in a costume. Halloween is tough!
I love how Ava is snuggled up in Santa's beard in the first picture. The MOA Santa IS the REAL Santa. You are SOOO right. I tell Owen that all the rest are Santa helpers. He seems satisfied with that answer.
