Every year we look forward to going to the Baum Christmas party. Santa comes and brings a present for all the little kids. He always brings my kids a book. In past years this has been the only experience my kids have had with Santa. This year there was a BIG storm and we decided to stay safe and not go. Although we were sad and bummed to miss it we didn't tell the kids we weren't going.
In past years, Santa has not made an appearance at our ward Christmas party but he did in 2013. That solved my problem with getting pictures of the kids with Santa (although I have NO idea where the pictures are:D). They sat on his lap and told him what they wanted and then the evening went on. Part way through dinner Madi came to me, very concerned, and said "Santa forgot to give me a present." I let her know that he didn't have room in his sleigh for presents for everyone and that he had told me that he left it at home for her.
When we got home I told them to get their PJ's on. Sure enough, when they came out in their jammies, they found a present for each of them on the couch.
Madi got a Disney Classic Storybook. She loves it!
Easton got Monster's Inc. Storybook Collection. It's a favorite for him!
They were both THRILLED that Santa hadn't forgot them and had made a special trip to leave them their gift.
