Stella telling Santa what she wants for Christmas. As we were leaving she had to run back and ask him where his sleigh and reindeer were, she was very concerned about this all the way to the mall. :)

Porter did NOT enjoy sitting on Santa's lap, but I was expecting that!! :)

Riding the train, Porter didn't last long, he got off before it even started moving!

We started a new holiday tradition this year, Elf On The Shelf. Stella named our elf, Stanley. Stanley reports to Santa every night on how Stella and Porter behaved that day and each morning he is in a new spot. Stella is so funny, she completely believes he is real. She always wants to sleep with her door open a little bit, but the first few nights we had Stanley she made us shut her door all the way in case he came into her room!!! This picture Stanley had gotten into our flour and cookie cutters and was ready to make Christmas cookies with us one morning.

haydn doesn't like santa either, we went to merle hay, and she wouldn't go near him. she would tell him from afar what she wanted.
How fun to visit Santa! And I love the Stanley the Elf tradition...what fun!
Cute pics of the kids with Santa. I didn't figure that Muffin Man would be too fond of the jolly ole guy!! But I did think that he'd like the train ride. Did Stanley get the cookies made? Clever hiding, Stanley!!!!
That pic of P on Santa's lap is classic! They look so cute in their holiday clothes. We have Elf on the Shelf, too, & I'm hoping by next year Filson will be able to name him & get into it. This year he's not making many nightly trips back to the North Pole!!
Love the Elf on the Shelf idea! I've never heard of it! Cute pics with Santa!
Love the Elf idea. He is so cute and it's funny that Stella was worried about him coming into her room. We all figured Porter was not going to like Santa but the train ride surprised us????? Stella's dress is so cute she looks like such a big girl.
