Santa Claus came by for a visit this past week at the kids’ daycare. Just as I suspected, Sam was not thrilled at all this year to be sitting in a creepy man’s garishly red lap.
Sam was only willing to get near the guy if he sat on another lap entirely — mine.
Yep, I got the pleasure of watching the action and meeting The Man himself this year. Sam had his 18 month checkup that morning and when I dropped him off, it was Santa Claus Chaos at the daycare.
Lydia was quickly fetched for a family shot:
Then Lydia had her own time with the Big Guy, so she gave him a big ol’ bear hug:
She confessed her sins of the past year:
Then she was absolved and smiled for the camera.
Lydia is very aware of Santa Claus and his awesome power this year. However, she tends to hold his visage over others instead of minding better herself. The other day she told Steven Santa wasn’t going to visit him if he didn’t share. I hope Lydia confessed the sins of tattling and bossiness.
