So this year at the ward Christmas party we had a special visitor, yes, you guessed it Santa. As Matayia sat on Santa's lap I could see it in her eyes, she wasn't buying it. After she was done we were sitting at our table, she leaned over to me and said. "Mom, I don't think that is santa, when he talked to me his beard fell off his face." So right then and there, at the ward Christmas party I had to break it to her. So I said "Santa is so busy, in December getting all the toys ready that he doesn't have time to come to all the parties, so he has helpers that do that for him." She thought about it for awhile and then said "OK"
But we were so excited to get to go to "Santas cabin" to see him this year. That is right, the real Santa (He only has time for a few parties)And we were lucky enough to be invited. We enjoyed a very very cold train ride first and even braved the weather for a second ride later. Matayia and Kaitlyn then enjoyed a great talk with Santa, telling him all the things they wanted. The visit was then topped off with some great hot chocolate and cookies. Thanks again Santa, for taking some time out of your busy December to see us this year.

That Santa is precious! He melts my heart. The cutest Santa I've ever seen.
My mom had to tell me that Santa helper story at our ward Christmas party too. I recognized him. He was a member of our ward.
Tyler wouldn't even sit on our Ward Party Santa Claus' lap for a candy cane. He took one look and told me the "beard looks like a wig - it's not the real Santa." "Santa's Helper" stories didn't work.
