A Conversation With Santa

On the ride home from visiting Ava at the hospital yesterday, Jameson fell soundly asleep. He missed a golden opportunity to talk with the Big Man himself in what may be a last chance to fulfill his Christmas wish list. While Jameson napped at home, Jamie, Ayden and I attended an open house at their school - Royal Learners.

Crawling onto Santa's lap, Ayden asked for a Power Ranger something. The Bearded One seemed to understand exactly what Ayden requested. Hey Santa - can you help a girl out??

After a lengthy and animated discussion with Mr. Claus, we walked to the arts and crafts room where Ayden decorated a graham cracker present.

He also decorated a cookie with brightly colored sprinkles.

"Mimi - look at the pretty cookie I made!"

Going...going...

...GONE!

"Cookie? What cookie?"

Oh Ayden, you're such a con artist but you have to go a long way to best your mother. You don't understand that I survived the Queen of Con.
