One of the first Mondays in December we went to the college to see Christmas Tree lane for FHE. We also got to see Santa for the first time. We had talked about how we would get to sit on his lap, etc, and the boys were so excited. When we asked them what they were going to tell Santa that they wanted, it would change each time. At first Tanner said that he wanted a car that you drive in, just like in the Walmart ad.
Colty wanted a dinosaur to sleep with. Then his changed to be a dino that was remote control that would roar. Tanner took the Walmart ad book with him to see Santa, and we thought that he would just show him the picture of the fancy red car that he could drive. We waited in line for a while, and then it was our turn. And, it was the REAL Santa. It is the same one that was there last year, and he is REAL....hair, belly full of jelly, beard so white, suit so red, etc. And he was so jolly and cheery. 
He talked to the boys about what they would want, and of course the boys wouldn't say anything, just stare. Then we reminded Tanner of his magazine, so he pulled it out and went page by page showing Santa what he wanted. There was something on EVERY page. 
What a good sport Santa is, to listen to the greedy desires of each little boy and girl. Then Colty nodded his head when we told Santa that he wanted a dinosaur. We took family pictures and then had free hot chocolate.
