We went up the mountain yesterday with Dan and Veronica, for the Winter Wonderland, because Paige REALLY wanted to meet Santa. Lily went right up and got in his lap and asked for a robot. She told me on the way in "Yeah! I'm gonna sit on his lap, and I won't cry." She didn't.
Paige turned ultra shy the second she saw him, and wouldn't go near him. She also got a little upset that we even dared to ask.
Cason got excited and was pointing and saying "Santa", pronounced "Sanza". So I took him over and as soon as he realized I was putting him in his lap he tightened his grip on me and tried to kick away from him. I could feel a scream coming on too, so we went ahead and called the whole thing off. So he cried pretty good, but a full on scream never happened, at least.
After we walked out Paige wanted to go back and see Santa. So we tried again, and she did it. But she avoided eye contact, and quietly mumbled her requests.
She also made a card for people who are in the hospital, wrote and "mailed" a letter to Santa, and made a cute reindeer ornament. Then we all went outside and the girls played in the snow. We had no sleds, so their daddies just slid with them in their laps.
And one piggy back slide too.
Then we made them all pose together, which they did happily.
Cason's wearing Veronica's gloves. Ha.
It was a lovely time, and they were worn out when we got home.
After they woke up I worked on the doll house and Jess and the babies made a gingerbread house. Cason's job was pouring tiny candies all over the kitchen floor.
Paige was still talking about writing to Santa today. She wrote him a letter that said "...and I want Santa to come back. And I want a Snow Light dress, and I only want a little dollhouse. And I want a toy. I don't have a toy, and I want a toy."
