Dear Santa (I want a stick)

We enjoyed our annual tradition of having Breakfast with Santa Claus at Treyburn Country Club. They always do such a fabulous job and have the most authentic Santa I've ever seen. So authentic even I felt intimidated standing near him. Plus, he's like 9 feet tall!

I am flat out shocked that the kids did not run from the room when he walked in but I know Austin was a on a mission. If he was scared he was not going to show it. He had been practicing what he was going to ask Santa for and nothing would stand in his way. He jumped right up, patiently waited till he was asked and then said quickly "a DS and a video watch!". Then Santa asked him how old he was and probably rolled his eyes. 

Madeleine even got on the big man's lap! She only had one request...pencils. Really, that's it, pencils. Every time she says it I think of this HYSTERICAL song:  Listen to the song!

Rob dressed for the occasion.

Here is a video of Austin making his request. Plus an added bonus of 1) strange man in background singing and 2) Dad getting yelled at by Santa. Not something you see every day!
