Santa Claus visit

We caught up with Santa Claus at RC willey's this year.  This kids were excited to ask Santa for their gifts this year.  Kate asked for a barbie clothes designer kit.  Benjamin asked for a skate board, and Kirk asked for a surprise.  I love taking pictures of the kids with Santa claus.  I was proud of Benjamin becasue he never wants to get his picture taken with Santa.  Last year I had to photo shop him into the photo.  This year he told me he wouldn't want to take a picture and I said that it was okay.  As we got up to the front of the line I asked if he would just stand close to Santa instead of sitting on his lap.  That was a good enough compromise and he was able to ask Santa for a skate board then smiled for the picture.  I was so proud of him.  I love to get the Santa picture.  The kids have been very excited for Christmas this year.  It is so magical for the kids.

 Benjamin also had his preschool Christmas program.  He did such a cute job and sang all of the songs and did all of the actions.  He is in such a cute age now.  I just love the preschool age, they say the sweetest things.  Benjamin is always happy to give mom really big hugs.  Everyday I drop him off at preschool he asks me "are you wearing lipstick mommy"  before he'll let me kiss him.  He doesn't like me to kiss him with my lipstick on.  This will be Ben's last year in preschool.  I can't believe that he will be starting kindergarten in the fall.  It's so crazy to see all our kids turning into such big kids.  I know Benjamin will love school.  He is our social little guy who loves playing with kids.
