Santa Claus

Logan is so excited about Christmas this year. He helped decorate the house and the tree, sings Christmas Carols, and loves watching Christmas movies. I think we've already watched the Polar Express 5 times. He can't get enough. Not only do we have one Advent calendar, we have 2!! Each morning Logan is very adamant about putting the day on the calendar, and then opening a box on the 2nd one to get a piece of Chocolate. We even got the book Elf on a Shelf, which has an Elf that stays at our house until Christmas. Each night he flies home to Santa to tell if Logan has been good or bad that day. We named our elf Buddy and each morning we run around the house to see where Buddy has landed for the day. Logan picked up on all these fun family traditions very quickly;) He has been the most excited about going to see Santa, he is 2, which means - he only understands Santa brings toys!!! Last night we took him to meet Santa - and it was well worth the wait. All afternoon he kept telling me he was ready to go - let's go mommy - let's go. Once daddy finally got home, we headed to the mall to see Santa. Logan did not say a word the entire car ride, which is very unusual. Once we got there, we had to wait in line for our turn, and once again - he was a perfect little man!! When it was finally his turn, he ran and hopped on Santa's lap and then buried his chin in his chest. He was so overwhelmed, he couldn't even look or speak to Santa. I have NEVER seen Logan speechless!! Finally after warming up to Santa - he ran through his list, and told Santa what a good boy he's been. We even got a great Santa pic! It was so much fun, and these trivial things to us as adults, are what makes childhood so special! I wouldn't trade anything for the look on Logan's face when he finally saw Santa!!!
