On Wednesday after work and school, the four of us met downtown for a visit with Santa. Downtown Kalamazoo is awesome for many reasons, and a big one is that Santa sets up camp there this time of year, there is rarely a line, and you can take as many of your own pictures as you want. I have no idea why anyone would go through the madness at the mall when there is an option like this available. I wasn't sure how either kid would react, as Nathan can be shy and also a little exhausted at the end of a school day, and Natalie is always a little touchy in the evening. However, they were both awesome! Nathan was super excited to see Santa, and went right up to him. He asked for a police car and a train, and was thrilled that Santa knew that he liked cars and trucks. Natalie sat nicely on Santa's lap, and communicated her Christmas wishes through mental telepathy. :)
Nathan may have been most excited about the fact that Santa gave him a candy cane. On the way home in the car, Nay and I were replaying the conversation that he and Santa had, talking about what Nathan asked him for. All of the sudden Nathan paused and said, "Hey, why Santa didn't give me any cars and trucks?" We then had to talk about Santa's delivery schedule. Hee hee
Santa's been spotted
