Santa- not Bug's favorite person

OK- the pictures are in reverse order- but they reflect our evening.


Bug helping D open his present. You could almost hear Bug saying "here, you do it this way". D was struggling opening his gift. it was too cute to see Bug helping him out. Still helping

Santa with D, trying to get a high 5 from him.


Santa reading "The night before Christmas"


The kids all waiting. We walked over to sit by N and D (N is the blond in the corner of the picture) and Santa walked through the door. Bug about jumped out of his skin.





Bug listening to his moto- see the puffy eyes- yep, Bug was not happy with Santa. Santa called his name and you would have thought Santa was out to kill Bug from his reaction- instant tears, lots of wailing. Dang- I thought by this age, Bug would be over the Santa thing. If this continues on Wednesday, then I am going to tell Bug the truth and be done with Santa.



Bug with his moto. this was not the gift I had planned for tonight. I thought the bowling game was going to be the gift, but Bug so informed me this morning that Santa was bringing him a moto tonight. Rather than have him disappointed tonight and have that disappointment roll into Wednesday night, I switched the gifts. So Wednesday night, he gets the bowling game and Christmas morning, the BIG MOTO will be under the tree.






Screaming on my lap and refusing to look at Santa. Fingers are stuck down his throat so that he is covered in slobber. Nice, because then it all went on me






See- fingers down his throat.







It was a good night- Bug was not the only one who cried when Santa called their name, he was just the oldest. We met some cyber friends face to face. This is a fun night for us.







See- Happy family before the trauma of Santa.
Love to you,
Deb
