Today we took Philip to see Santa Claus and boy was it a trip to remember... or maybe one he would probably like to forget! We waited in line patiently and Philip quietly sat in his stroller and watched all the little children go up and sit in Santa's lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. In line he seemed fine, but when his time came... he tried to take a run for it right past that Santa Claus as he was not going to sit in any big white bearded man's lap! So I put him in my lap instead and tried to touch Santa's beard to get him comfortable with Santa... but Philip just sat in my lap looking at me shaking his head no and saying, "no, no, no, no!" So when the photo op time came, I sat him in Santa's lap and you would have thought we had cut off his legs he screamed so loud... I mean so loud that the shoppers all the way in Nordstroms could have heard him! Needless to say Philip was not a fan this year of the man in the jolly red suit... but we got his picture so now he can say he has definitely been there, done that and got the t-shirt! Then we had chick-il-lay for lunch as Philip likes to try to say and last but not least we went as a family to mail his Christmas letter to Santa in the North Pole. He was so excited to put the stamp on it and mail his letter to Santa like a big boy just as long as Santa stayed in the North Pole while he did it! His wish list this year was for a big red wagon, a basketball goal and for his mommy to have a baby boy that likes to play outside and with balls instead of a little girl who likes pink and boring babydolls... I told him that unfortunately I don't know how much control Santa has over his last wish.. but we will surely be blessed by God to have a healthy little baby in March! So there we have it, the letter is mailed and the really sweet thing about the Dear Santa letters are that they get mailed to the troops in war over Christmas to bring smiles to their faces and hearts during this special and wonderful time of year! Isn't Christmas time just the best?!

The picture of Philip is priceless!!!! You can tell he is one unhappy little man on Santa's lap. Ansley was the same way last year. Hopefully she will be better tomorrow when we see Santa at church. We will see :)
I love you can mail a letter to Santa, where can you go to do this?
