Last Tuesday we got a note in our mailbox letting us know that Santa had come to town and that on Thursday everyone who wanted to could meet at a certain point, and walk with torches into the forest to find him and leave their Christmas wish-lists! So exciting! (I guess there's some neighborhood organization that does it.) The kids were thrilled and excited and filled with wonderment to see if it really was the real Santa. We spent all afternoon baking sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies to take to him along with their wish-lists.
Emmy wasn't such a fan, and didn't even dare look at him when he tried saying hi. She was quiet content staying in her stroller, holding her dolly.
Afterwards Samuel and Sofia had a long drawn-out conversation about whether or not it was the real Santa. Sofia was sure it was but Samuel wasn't so sold. He thought it must've been one of his helpers because he saw him play with his beard and it moved a little and because he asked what their names were ("the real Santa obviously knows our names, right mom?")...smart kid.
