The Wednesday before Christmas marked our 5th annual visit from Santa Dennis!! At about 5:30, the bells jingled, and in the front door he walked--I don't know why, but I think it's so funny that part of his gig is just letting himself right in the front door ;)
Amara went running right for the door and Cora scurried into my lap. Grandma and grandpa Jahn had stopped by for the visit, so they were there waiting for the event too. Amara was happy to jump right into things, but Cora wasn't quite as thrilled. Her reaction was about the same as breakfast with Santa a few weeks ago (Santa told us 1.5 to 3 is about the touch age, before or after that they are pretty ok with him).
Santa told us lots of stories about the reindeer and sang a song--he sings Rudolph and Amara sang along a little bit, but was distracted by his big bag--which she knew to contain presents. She opened hers and it was a RC car, and Cora got a John Deere gator to push. Amara was disappointed that she didn't get her zebra, but I assured her this was just a pop-in visit, and that if she was good, she might get it Christmas morning :)
Santa reminded Amara to be in bed on Christmas even but to listen for his bells up on the roof top. You could see her little mind processing each thing he said and I was just waiting for questions, but she held those back for us after he left....
By the end of the visit, Cora had warmed up enough to give Santa a high-5, and with that, he packed up and headed towards the door with his "ho-ho-ho's" and a big "Merry Christmas."
