It's Santa Season!!

Santa has started making his rounds early this year. Alot of kids that he nomally gets to see are not going to be in their local beds on Christmas Eve but he wanted to make sure they knew that Santa has been watching!!

Santa's first stop was at Graysons house. He had been a very good boy this year so got an EARLY special visit from the jolly RED man. When Santa rang his bells outside the door, Santa and his elf could hear Grayson gleefully screaming inside the house and of course Chino was contributing his fair share to the excitement and noise.

After getting Santa settled on the couch it was obvious that little Grayson was really excited to see Santa. Grayson is a huge fan of Spiderman and Santa was very happy to chat with him about his hero. Santa had a few gifts for him and he was happy to receive them.

So Merry Christmas to Grayson and his family From Santa and his Elf!!

Santa's next stop was at Jake, Ty and Jossies place. They are staying at Grammy and Papa Botkins house until they make the trip to their new home in Colorado.
As you can see by the photo, someone is missing from the picture. Jos was not too keen on sitting on Santa's lap at this time.

Papa was a good shoulder tho.. At least until Santa pulled out the candy canes. And then it took Grammy holding her to get her even NEAR the big guy.


But once she got that CANDY in hand, all was well. She managed to sit next to her big brother Jake and give Santa a few shy smiles.



And then even managed to let Santa hold her for a quick picture.


And of course, the group photo ... where we finally got all three of them together on Santa's lap.

BUT - I must say the highlight for THIS elf was when Ty decided that his candy cane was too sticky and he had to get something wrapped around it. Here is a kid who knows how to solve a problem... He walked over to his backpack, got a piece of paper out, methodically placed the bottom of his candy cane on that paper (the remaining part was on the floor :-)) and then ever so neatly wrapped the paper around the candy so he didn't have to hold the sticky part. Smart Kid!!

So, first round complete and Santa is resting up for his next GIG.. A visit to Certified Benz and Beemers Christmas party and of course.. the biggest night of all... Christmas Eve...

Merry Christmas and remember to be good! Santa is watching!!
