Matt and I were wide awake within seconds of hearing the firetruck sirens blaring as it came down the street. We both stood straight up out of bed and looked out the window only to see that it was Santa Claus. We got Taylor out of bed so she could see and that is when the excitement started. She has been so excited to see him for awhile now but when she waved and saw him waving she said he was waving at her. He rode around town till noon and then took his place at Santa's house in the park. We decided to take the kids and go see him. They had lots of those blow up decorations, hot chocolate, cookies and of course Santa. Next week the reindeer will be joining him so we will probably make another trip to see them too. Taylor still loves Santa. She did awesome for the 3rd year in a row. She talked his ear off, question after question, and then told him she like his christmas tree. Tyson was not as amused with the stranger holding him. He gave Santa the pouty lip and cried a few tears for only a couple seconds. He was just mostly not thrilled with sitting on someone he didn't know. Here's some pics from our adventure.

Talking Santa's ear off
Tyson sits on Santa while Taylor tells him it will be ok...He was very unsure of him!
Tyson's 5 seconds of crying then he was over it, but still didn't want to sit on him.
I had to torture Tyson for a few more seconds so that I could get a pic of him by himself with Santa!
Tyson is always so content and laid back that I was surprised he cried at all, but then he's a lot older than Taylor was her first Christmas, so he is aware of a lot more than she was her first time seeing Santa. She will probably teach him the ropes in no time and next year he may be a completely different kid.
On another note....Saturday was also my Mother -in- Law's birthday, so I just wanted to add a Happy Birthday to her on here. We Love you and hope you had a great birthday!

Love these pictures! What a good big sister trying to teach Tyson the ropes. I like the tentative look on Tyson's face when he is checking out St. Nick.
