We went to my park district's Santa event, which I believe is one of the best around. Seriously! Why is it the best? Well, the other places don't have Santa arrive from the North Pole via his......
......helicopter!!!!! best.thing.ever!!!!
{all of the kids waiting for his landing}
{check him out! please, tell me how awesome this is}
{santa and his elf climb out very carefully. we don't want any christmas nightmares here, folks}
{santa waves to all of his adoring fans}
{and while all the rest of the kids swarm santa, eddie watched the helicopter}
{eddie and little elf madeline. back in the day, i babysat for madeline.....i find it depressing that she is grown up. sigh.}
{as part of our santa prep for this year, we practiced what eddie would say to santa (hi santa! nice to meet you. my name is eddie. i've been nice....most of the time. i want (insert sucker, cheese, neigh (horse) or roller skates here) and yes, he would say all of that!) and we told him that he can sit on his lap or just stand next to him. i figured this would be a good test....to see what his reaction would be when Santa walked by. And he was excited! He even went up and gave him a little hug. Yay!!}
{so we knew that when Eddie had his turn to go see Santa he would do well. Look at that little face! Complete awe at Santa Claus!}
{omg. i die of cuteness}
{and lo and behold...Santa gave Eddie a sucker candy cane! eddie was a happy little man}
Our morning with Santa ended with some crafts, some snacks and a little story time. I love, love, love my park district's Santa event! It is so perfect, runs so smoothly and everyone has a great time. I'm so happy that I get to enjoy it with Eddie instead of working it :)
