We decided to play hooky from school and work Thursday to get into the Christmas spirit. After picking out toys for several cousins at the toy store, we headed over to the mall by my office to visit Santa Claus. Elena was scared and crying at first, but Santa was very patient with her. He spent 10 minutes talking with her and Alex about their Christmas plans while she warmed up to him. Thank goodness there was no line! Alex was VERY excited to tell Santa all about what he would like for Christmas: a Batman car, a watch to learn how to tell time, and a calendar for his wall. Elena was focused on one thing: Elmo. The kids are now counting the days down until Christmas with their advent calendars from Trader Joes.Thursday, December 11, 2008
