Conversations With Santa

Post Christmas Eve mass Dave spent sometime entertaining the boys after dinner before we started the traditional family Christmas Program.  Dave was using a pretend phone to talk to the North Pole and when Mrs. Claus told him Santa was out on his sleigh delivering presents they called Santa's cell phone to get an update.  Santa asked Dave to confirm there would be cookies and milk when he arrived.  Dave then asked Adam if he thought he could put some cookies out for Santa?

Grandma and grandpa's dishwasher broke right before the whole family invaded for Christmas.  So I was helping clean the kitchen when Adam walked in asking for cookies.  Both Denise and I were on the same wavelength with a "no" response, because we had just finished dinner and Jesus's Birthday cake was going to be our dessert.  Normally this would be okay with my 2 and half year old, but he lost it and threw a rather large fit.  Then Dave comes in to smooth things over.  The cookies were not for Adam, but for Santa and that little boy didn't want to disappoint the big man in red.

After Dave ended the call with Santa James picked up the phone and was running around saying Santa into the phone.  It was pretty darn cute.

As I mentioned the dishwasher was broken and the house was full with 9 people, so the dishes were still being washed.  Adam and James started to get a little more rough when Adam almost threw James into one of grandpa's speakers.  Dave told Adam to settle down or he would have to call Santa back.  James heard that and grabbed the phone and started saying, "Santa, Santa!"  Adam ran and started yelling, "no James no, don't do it! don't tell Santa"
