Santa ISN'T Scary!

At least not the fakey-fakey Walmart kind of Santa!

We've had some trouble in the past.

After we were back in the car Halle mentioned that his boots were like her Batgirl boots. "Just pretend." Ha ha! Ty has really seemed to notice the Christmas tree since he's started crawling a lot. We don't mind so much because he ignores everything except this basketball ornament:

That'a boy!

Oh yeah- if you want your kids to believe that Santa is real, do not bring him up around our girls. They're not shy about telling how Santa is just a fun thing to pretend- and then they'll tell you the story of Nicholas ('a man that lived long long ago and far far away') and how he gave secret gifts to poor children. And they'll continue telling you about why we give presents at Christmas ('to remember that God gave us the gift of Jesus'), etc. I'm just warning you.

And you may not want to bring up the whole "Santa is watching you!" warning. They'll set you straight. Even at the grocery store. :)
