A visit with Santa

Marlene's Brother Lee had a Christmas party again this year with a special guest visitor at the end. This party was on a very busy day for Ryan and I, and we made it just in time for some dinner, visiting with reletives, and a visit from Santa. It is really fun because when Santa comes, he brings a bag of presents, (one for each child). Then when he gets your present out of the bag you get to go up sit on Santa's lap, and recieve your gift.
Kenzie was the first to go up this year, and she was excited until she realized that mom wasn't going to follow her. She didn't cry just got really shy and wouldn't talk.
Aby was just plain excited about sitting on Santa's lap and telling him what she wanted, and then getting her present. I didn't realize that she had figured out that this was just someone in a costume until a week later, when we were in the car and Aby said, "mom we need to go and see the real Santa." when I said that we already saw Santa she told me "that was not the real Santa mom, it was grandpa in a dress-up." So there kids are smarter than we give them credit for.
Brooklyn didn't cry or do anything other than just look at this wierd person with a beard.
All of the girls were very happy to get their presents of puzzles, and crayons, or scissors. Brooklyn didn't really firgure out that she got a stuffed goose she was very happy and content to play with the paper.....a sign of things to come.
