first visit to santa

We went to the mall to see Santa. Not one kid cried this year.  However, Addie was nervous because Santa sent her a message through PNP (portable north pole) and said she was on naughty watch.  She thought Santa might mention something to her while she was sitting on his lap. She was really relieved he didn't say anything.  But Man she has been helpful the last couple of days.  She has mopped my floors, cleaned the bathrooms, tended the boys.... 
We also went on a train ride.  Trey and PJ were in heaven.  The train went around the entire main floor of the mall.  Good Times!

After the train ride, we bought some cotton candy.  It was a fun day!  I wonder how many more times we will see Santa in the next month.

Bribing the kids with black marks is a day I look forward to IMMENSELY. Right now, I'm just trying to help Alex have her first Christmas where she is not sure that big fat guy is the cause of all the problems in her existence. You've never seen a child cry like her with Santa in the room. Since I've been talking to her about sitting on Sanata's lap now for about 4 weeks, I FINALLY have her convinced to try it for a second so I can get a picture.... cuz she's all about the posing.

Anyway.... once Cinderella gets done detailing your pad, send her my way.

There will never ever be a day where all my kids will sit on Santa's lap so I'm jealous of the picture.
Never heard of the PNP--maybe I'd better get learned in those ways....

We rode the train too! I love it. I wonder if it is a seasonal thing or if it's always going to be there?
We didn't try the cotton candy machine though. Next time...

Love the naughty watch! Cute pictures of your darlings, they are growing up so fast.

I hope your kids get through the season a little better than "Calvin and Hobbes" did, but they sure tried to be good and I guess that is the point.
