Ho, Ho, Ho

Mommy took the day off from work so that she could join Daddy on the kids' first real visit to Santa Claus. Ike was very excited about Santa. When he sat on Santa's lap, he told Santa that he had been a good boy. Santa replied that he already knew that Ike had been a good boy. When asked what he wanted Santa to bring him, Ike responded "Presents!". Santa told him that he'd bring some surprise presents then. Ike thanked Santa and gave him a big hug. The kids took a pretty picture with him, and then Santa gave Ike two coloring books (one for Ike and one for his baby sister). Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas!
