Jack and Alex got to visit with Santa at our neighborhood party. Jack had prepped by watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and was very excited to see the big man himself. Right before we left to go, Jack and I decided he would bring a present for Santa, a brownie wrapped in cellophane with a bow on top. You know, just to make sure Jack was put on the "Nice" list.
The big moment arrived. Jack approached cautiously and when Santa saw him he said, "Hello Jack! Want to come up here and sit in my lap?" Jack absolutely froze. He hid behind mommy, he hid behind a column, he avoided looking directly at Santa at all cost. So I thought I would try another tact. "Jack, do you have a gift for Santa?" I asked him. Jack looked down at his brownie, looked at Santa and proceeded to chuck the brownie straight at the Man for the North Pole. That's right, my son pegged Santa with a brownie.
Hmmm, Mommy may have to work overtime to get Jack on that "Nice" list.

1. Gage would be the exact same way.
2. At Halloween, Gage threw his candy bucket @ a woman when she opened the door & then he ran away (I suppose he chose "trick" from the phrase, "trick or treat")
3. This year, Gage would not get out of his crib to go into the den, until we promised him that Santa was NOT still in there.
....kids.
Hope you guys had a very merry Christmas!
