Rylan had fallen asleep on the way to the mall so he was a little grumpy when we got there and said he was scared of Santa. I didn't care about getting a good photo so I told him all he had to do was hand over his list and he seemed to be okay with that.
The boys were having trouble coming up with a Christmas list so I dumbly gave them the Toys R Us Christmas book. They circled just about everything. Eventually Carter wrote down six things (most cost about $100). I told him Santa wouldn't get him all that, but it was good that Santa had some ideas to choose from. He ended up shortening his list to two things (a Lego Movie Lego set and a giant dinosaur set). I'm not sure Santa will be getting both still :)
Rylan's list was all action figures except for one of Carter's items taped on (I think Carter convinced him to do that in hopes that Rylan would get the toy he wanted and then he could play with it too). I'm sure Rylan will get part of his list :)
The boys are 100% convinced they saw the real Santa yesterday. They think most Santas are just his elves dressing up like Santa because he can't be everywhere at the same time. But the boys said this guys' beard was real and so he's the real Santa.
Santa was actually really good and knew the boys weren't getting a picture done so he talked to them about being good and listening to their parents. Hopefully that sinks in a little because it's been a rough month in the behavior department!
Carter had to get his picture as an elf on the way out - he loves these things!
