Santa

Santa made a visit to Sheridan the other day...and believe it or not he stopped at the John Deere place in town! When we told the boys we would be going to talk to Santa, we weren't sure if they would actually want to talk to him. I thought one or both of the little boys would, but I really didn't think Landon would. Turns out - if his little brothers did it, Landon figured he could!

As it got closer to the day, the boys got more and more excited. The funny thing was - we kept talking to them about what they would ask Santa for and Austin kept saying "stinky socks" and Aiden kept saying "stinky candy." I'm not sure where that came from, other than their nerves, so we weren't sure what they would actually say when asked.

Here are some pictures from the big day:

Austin went first. Of course, when we walked in and saw Santa was sitting on a Gator, Austin was all ready for his turn. He's so serious and didn't crack one smile while up there, but he did tell Santa he had been good and that he wanted a tractor for Christmas. Good job, Austin!


Next up - Aiden's turn. He was pretty serious about it, too, but did give me a good smile for the camera! :-) He also answered Santa's questions, atleast with a nod of his head, and then told Santa he wanted an elephant for Christmas. Good job, Aiden!


Finally, it was Landon's turn. Like Aiden, he was very serious except for a little smile for me and the camera! :-) (He looks so old!) Landon quietly answered all of Santa's questions with a nod. It was cute - Santa asked him what he would like for Christmas and Landon had a list of 4 things. Each time he would say one, Santa would say "is there anything else?" And Landon would nod and quietly say the next thing. He got through all 4 and was ready to go. His list included: Legos, Transformers, Hot Wheel's Track Pack and Power Rangers. Good job, Landon!


It was fun! Each boy got a candy cane from Santa and Mrs. Claus gave them each a tractor. Then they each got a cookie and juice! Lots of fun!
