We've been seeing this Santa since Ava was a baby and he is absolutely wonderful! You have to have an appointment to see him because he is in such high demand and gets booked up before the middle of December. In our family, Santa brings one present for the children and we, parents, supply the rest. So this year, I made sure the girls asked for something they really, really, wanted and to dream big... this is what they decided on:<br />

Do not ride THAT train.<br />
<br />
In fact, if you see said train...drop your stuff, abandon your cart, grab your children and get the heck out of Dodge.<br />
<br />
This train derails often!<br />
<br />
Your achilles will thank you.<br />

<br />
"Thailand?? Why Thailand?" <br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Tahm and I decided that after we get married, we are moving to Thailand.</span></b>"<br />
<br />
"Um, okay??"<br />
<br />
<br />
Flash forward the following week and I had made stir-fry for dinner. Ava is going on and on about how much she dislikes Chinese food and says she isn't going to eat her dinner.On the spot, I come up with a brilliant comeback using the information I now know about her plans for Thailand and use it to my advantage in getting her to eat her dinner.<br />
<br />
" Well you better start getting used to it because in Thailand they eat similar foods like this there!"<br />
<br />
^^^ The ace in the hole^^^<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
