Here comes Santa Claus

We made our annual trip to Indian Hills Ace Hardware to visit Santa. This year Sam went with a real list. He had something for everyone in in the family. I think Santa was impressed. Santa has always arrived at 9:00, so we arrived at about 8:45 and they said that Santa wouldn't arrive until 10:00. Apparently there was a misprint in the advertisement. I thought the employee was joking, but we soon found out that he wasn't. Sam decided to wait in a comfy chair. Just as he did on our trip to Atchison, where Sam spent most of the trip asking if we were "there yet," he asked almost continuously "Is Santa here yet?" Finally we heard that he was in parking lot.



Sam waiting for his turn, list in hand.

Sam's memory floors me. Right before it was his turn to see Santa, Sam turned to me and said, "This year I won't pick my nose." I totally had forgotten that last year, Sam had his finger in his nose for most of the time. This year, he didn't pick his nose, he just kept his fingers in his mouth.

Both Ben and Sam received coloring books from Santa. But Santa gave Sam extra candy canes since Ben couldn't eat them yet.

Who is this guy? I waited in line for an hour for this?
