Ho Ho Ho

Today after church the girls visited with Santa. They loved sitting on his lap and giving him hugs! They went back many times just to see if he was still there. There is nothing like the magic of Christmas through a child's eyes. Mia said, "I'm so excited for Santa!" Ansley was also thrilled to see him and was full of questions about how he got there, and where his sleigh and reindeer were! Both girls told Santa they wanted "Big girl bikes!" Then Ans asked if he would have room in is bag! I am sure we will make many more trips to see him before Christmas!!
