Aidyn says...

Aidyn is a lover of the man in red.

In fact for three straight years he took perfect "Santa pics" with little to no coaxing.

Check it out:

(This years to come, once I get our scanner to work!)

This year his father and I took him to MOA to see Santa. He looked ridiculously authentic! Aidyn was super well behaved, and although the picture turned out a little less then perfect, the overall experience was fantastic.

Yesterday we had plans to go see Santa again with my niece and nephew. They have yet to see the big man this year, so the whole house was excited!

Then typical to Minnesota winters, it started to snow.

Hard!

Schools closed, parts of the interstate were shut down along with our plans to go see Santa!

BOOO!

Do not fear, we thought fast!

We called up my father and asked him to call the kids as Santa Clause!

My dad is a big burly man, and his voice was perfect!

First he talked to my nephew, who listened with wide eyes and a huge smile! He promised to be good and asked for a tractor.

Then it was Aidyns turn...

"Hi Santa!!"

(slight pause for Santa to reply...)
"You know what Santa?"

(Another pause..)

"Me and my mom are having some problems!"


bahahahaha!

Could you imagine if he would have said that to a "Mall Santa" ?!

I just about died!

To top it off he asked Santa for a real live Reindeer!

The tone of his voice and the seriousness on his face had us all doubled over with laughter!

I can promise you all, I was thanking God that the roads were bad and we were unable to make it to that mall!

Although, I'd really like to have see the Mall's Santa respond to THAT one!

p.s. When asked why we were having "problems" he responded: "Well I wasn't being a good listener!" He DIDN'T mention that one to Santa!!
