Waiting for Santa and Dumb Mom’s Bright Smiles Holiday Photo Contest

We didn’t have to wait THAT long to see Santa Claus on Sunday. We got in line at 11:15 and Santa showed up around noon. While we waited for him to take his place at his “workshop” Tim took the kids to ride the carousel, they shared some cinnamon and sugar pretzel sticks from the Auntie Anne’s conveniently located just steps from the line (well played over-priced pretzel place, well played…), and I took the boys into Williams Sonoma for samples of peppermint bark and toffee. Oh and I changed K into her fancy dress.

In other words, we had time. We were not the first ones in line but probably only about 15th. And I’m SO glad we got there when we did. The line was FOREVER by the time Mr. Claus showed up.

Thankfully the kids behaved pretty well and were willing to wait.

I’m pretty sure the boys’ smiles below were due to the fact that their tummies were full of tasty pretzel sugar.

And yes, The B Man was sporting his very own “Santa” hat – he wears it to bed every night and calls it his “night cap” (yes, I AM raising an 80 year old man, thankyouverymuch…).

I am participating in the Invisalign Teen Bright Smiles Holiday Photo Contest with the super awesome Dumb Mom.
