Santa's Lap 2007Every time that I have asked Ben what he wanted for Christmas this year the response for the last month had always been the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I had yet to find the thing. The online reviews are terrible and it is a little pricey, but it was the only thing on his list- so I set out to hunt it down. I started out at Target last night before the freezing rain had started with no luck. I was excited to find one in the wrong spot on a shelf at Wal-Mart. Lucky me-Lucky Ben!!!
As I was tucking him into bed last night I told him that we might be able to see Santa tomorrow. I then asked him what he was going to tell the big guy that he would like for Christmas. I was anticipating the answer, feeling pretty awesome that I had helped Santa make his wish come true. Out of the blue he said the Mummy King. This is a character from a Backyardigans episode -not even an actual toy! There goes that feeling of being awesome....
Owen was asleep last year during our visit to Santa. I'm a little nervous about what his reaction might be this time around. He has never had stranger anxiety, but then again most "strangers" aren't decked out in red and white velour with a great big beard. I'm always a sucker for the overpriced very poor quality photo package so I'm sure to have pictures to post soon.
