Santa Visit

For the last 7 years, the wolfpack crew has visited Santa at South Coast Plaza together. Simply put, we all agree he's the most realistic looking Santa. It's a tradition I enjoy. I secretly love the screaming child pictures. They are actually the only one's I display. Hopefully I will get one of Collin next year. He doesn't have stranger danger yet so Santa was no problem. Hannah and Jack immediately thanked him for the puppy. Being the real Santa that he is, he knew exactly what they were talking about and was so glad to hear the puppy was doing well and asked them to say hi to Figgy. Hannah politely asked if she was still allowed to ask for something. It's been a big question mark in the kid's minds if Santa is still going to visit since he brought the gift early. Santa of course said "Yes!" (that was nice of him...) Hannah asked for a Mad Libs book and Jack just copied her, Jack also informed him that Collin likes "Puffs." I think Hannah may have read between the lines here to not go crazy as a dog is a pretty big gift. I think Santa can probably manage a Mad Libs. After Santa they wrote the Reindeer carousel. I love the sweet innocence of a child and seeing their faces light up. Tim's favorite part is eating lunch as Boudin. It is delicious.
