The kids were pretty excited to see Santa this year and had brought it up a couple of times. Luckily things went off without a hitch when the kids saw Santa, and again, ran right up to him and gave him a nice hug. The photographer happened to catch a nice candid moment of us explaining to Santa exactly what the kids wanted (read: translating for Colin because he was pretty excited).
They asked Santa for the following: Colin wants more train track parts so he can make more elaborate train sets, and Addison wants an elephant. I think she’ll settle for an elephant made out of lego, but the original request was for an elephant. We can’t afford to feed a real elephant, and I don’t think the neighbours would appreciate us keeping on the deck out front.
