Santa 2012

last weekend reid's squadron hosted  a holiday party. unfortunately he was down with a big, but the kids and i dashed out quick to see santa, decorate a few cookies and watch the pilot fly santa back to the north pole in his jet.  peter was ecstatic to meet santa and chat to him, but betsy shared that she was "a little bit nervous of him" and decided she'd rather stand next to him than sit up on his lap. i told her that was absolutely ok. they both really enjoyed watching santa climb into the back set of the jet, the canopy close and the jet taxi away out of site to drive santa back to the north pole. that was just pure magic for all the littles who got to stay long enough to see it.  peter asked santa for a spaceship and betsy asked for choo-choo trains. looking forward to christmas morning this year, as are they!  they've been watching polar express and are absolutely smitten by the magic of it all. :)
