We pulled double-duty on the advent activities today, going to Crown Center to see Santa (to make up for Day 4), then visiting the Hallmark store there to pick out Aidan's annual Christmas ornament. We buy him one ornament each year - he can choose the ornament all on his own - and when he grows up, he'll have a good start to his own Christmas tree.
It was wonderful seeing Santa with NO LINE this morning. Aidan had a lot to tell Santa, including all about his Poppy working for the railroad, what he wanted for Christmas (not a short list), all about the Crayola playground leading up to Santa...you name it. Luckily, Santa was up for the conversation!
Aidan chose this ornament, a police car driven by penguins that sounds alarms anytime you get close to the presents in the trunk:
Aidan's book tonight was The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree. I think he was tired of having his picture taken by then!
See you tomorrow!
