We saw the big man today and pulled it off without a hitch. Kellan the Felon asked for a Lego Minons set (not sure they even make that) and Roo asked for the gigantic Elsa Castle she saw at Costco last week (which is no longer there). They came away excited about the jolly old fellow and how they couldn't wait to get home and trim the tree for him. My advice to all toddler mamas is to get to him on a week day soon while the older littles are in school. No line or stress. Also, bring someone to enjoy it with you. My mom and I have a tradition of Santa, Build-a-Bear, lunch and then Trader Joes. I live 45 minutes from a mall, so we make the most of our trip up island. Trader Joes has the best and cheapest wreaths and garlands. They also have the best assortment of teacher gifts. Think truffles, peppermint bark, poinsettas, rosemary tress, seasonal soaps and lotions.
On the way out I grabbed a baby ornament for 2015 and had them write Shay on it. I always love to pull out our ornaments each year and reminisce about the day we got them. Today was a sweet one to remember.
The kids look so happy and I’m sure they had a great time. It’s a great time to show the toddlers a great time. I hope you had a great Christmas.
