Santa asked Gretchen and Carl what their favorite cookies are because he said he likes to get kids' favorites. They all agreed on chocolate chips. I suspect that Santa knew Carl was lying when he said he liked them. Santa started to ask about milk, but both kids quickly corrected him and reminded him that we leave cider. He smiled and said he loves cider!!!
Carl asked for rubber stamps of TV channels and TV ratings. Gretchen asked for a 2013 Holiday Barbie doll. We hugged and exchanged wishes for a wonderful holiday season for all of us before Santa's elves gave each child a stuffed dog. They were so happy to receive puppies! Every year, Santa has given them a beloved stuffed animal. My kids are very good with their toys and they have such great memories that they easily remember who gave them which stuffed animal and when.
Gretchen did mention that Santa was not as silly as he had been when we saw him in the gardens, but we both decided that since Mrs Claus was with him tonight, he had to be a little more serious than when we saw him alone. When we saw him before, he actually sat on the lap of a little boy ahead of us in line. that little boy had a Santa hat on, so the Big Guy sat on his lap and asked for a scooter! The kids loved it!!!
Here are some of my photos from tonight. The photographer will be emailing me one more posed formal shot that she took.
