Cookies With Santa

Last Saturday the UAFS Alumni Office hosted Donuts and Cookies with Santa. We attended Cookies for Santa and took Miss Addison with us. She wrote Santa the sweetest little note. I should have taken a picture of the letter, but basically it said, "Dear Santa, Thank you so much. I love you so so so so much. I

hope you have a very Merry Christmas. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO." Not a single "I want" or "bring me". What a sweet girl. When prompted she did tell him that she wanted an Easy Bake Oven. She's a girl after my own heart. :-)

We didn't get any pics with our phones of Lawson with Santa, but as soon as I get the ones from the Alumni Office, I'll post them. I am happy to report, though, that he did not cry or scream. Now, he didn't actually sit on his lap either, but he did sit on the couch next to him and tell him he wanted a guitar. After both kiddos had seen Santa, we had a cookie and worked on a few crafts.

Before we left we tried getting both kids to talk to/sit by Numa (our mascot), but they weren't really interested at first. it took a little warming up before they would even set near him with Jason. 

Eventually though, they made friends. Of course Lawson wanted a knuckle sandwich (fist bump) and a "wi-fife" (apparently some combination of Wi-fi and high five...silly boy)

Then we got really brave and walked up to him all by our self. This boy is such a mess. 

Addison finally warmed up to him enough to have her picture made too, although she still wasn't real sure about him.

I just love that our Alumni Office does stuff like this! We were there a total of thirty minutes and they will send me a link to the photos...FOR FREE! I can print whatever I want. No line. No cost. No mall parking. I'll take it!
