Santa Claus is coming to town!

Today has been a pretty fun filled day. It started with a big breakfast to prepare for the meeting with Santa Claus. There is an advantage to being the boss sometimes like when you want to coordinate a Santa Claus at your district office and personally choose who plays Santa, then planning the timing just right so your child gets really good one on one time with Santa. On the way home from meeting with Santa it started to snow for the first time this year - big flakes. It was not enough snow to make a snowman or even really good snowballs but it was good enough to hook up a sled behind the Quad and have some real fun!

When Akins heard Santa coming ringing his bell and saying HO HO HO he took off running and about bowled Santa right over.

Santa offered up some candy canes - Akins calls them "pepamilk" Pretty cute!

Santa let Akins ring the Christmas bell.

Then the conversation began. First order of business a train.

Next a bumble bee for the boy next door to replace the one the dog chewed on.

Then an important man - he wants a GI Joe or action figure who looks militant like a police officer. Still a very important part of his daily thought process.

Then another train for Kurker and friends in Africa! How cute is that.

Then gifts for Mommy, Lorea, my dogs.

Then gifts for Grandma and Grandma's dogs

First flakes

Ready to ride!

Let's go again!

I like it!

Always the good little helper - putting the sled back up.
