Christmas Time's a Comin'...

RyGar had a work party down south this past weekend.  We joined him Friday night and ate like kings then stayed an extra day to visit with "the real" Santa in Richfield and watch the light parade.
It was so fun to see all my boys atop Santa's lap.  They were so polite.  Ace Face grinned the entire time.  And turns out Booner Bear is a huge Santa fan as well.  He smiled and giggled and asked for a bike and was super thoughtful about what else he might share with the big man.  It was darling.
We waved goodbye to Santa and Mrs. Clause from the truck and then Boone sat back in his car seat and just smiled and exclaimed, "I YIKE Santa!" and "Santa Canny" which I interpreted to mean "Santa gives candy". :)
Shockingly there were a few new items added to the boys' lists.  I don't know if that is because they were feeling the pressure once they were in the presence of the man in the red suit or they were just announcing some big new ideas they had conjured up on a whim... either way... let the wondering begin. 

And that evening we alternated sitting in a warm car and freezing out on the curb as we watched the light parade roll by in front of us.  Grandma and Grandpa were there with us and Boone hollered, "KIMISS YIGHTS!" every few minutes just to make sure we were all seeing what he was seeing.
I love this time of year.  It's busy.  It's crazy.  It's a little stressful but it's magic.  And I love it.
Hoping you feel the magic wherever you are too.
