Santa

We finally visited Santa today!  There was no way I was going to the mall, but I saw that the Franklin Farmer's Market was having Santa visit so we opted for there.  Good choice!  No line.  And a friendly, not too creepy, Santa.

Carter made a list and he was so excited to give it to Santa.  He asked for a particular Star Wars Lego set, a remote control truck, a remote control Hexbug, "and nothing else".

Rylan had seen Santa (the real one, according to him) at school the day before.  But he was willing to tell this one again that he wanted a remote control truck.

Grayson slept through it all (which was probably good because he would have refused to let Santa hold him).  Plus, he's starting another round of sickness.  The three boys have all been sick since we got home from Thanksgiving.  The two older ones have had mostly a bad cough that keeps them up a lot at night.  Carter was complaining that his ears were hurting on Tuesday so I took him in.  He has a mild ear infection (not bad enough for antibiotics yet).  Dr. Huss also checked Gray's ears since he was with me and he has a bad double ear infection.  So he's on antibiotics.  But he started a new illness today that involves a pretty good fever (102.7F when I took him temperature this afternoon).  We are concentrating on getting rid of all these germs over Christmas break!!!  There will be lots of hand washing and sanitizer!!!
