Santa came to visit Chelsea for Hometown Holiday's last weekend, and Brett couldn't wait to see him! All day long he kept asking, "Is it time to see Santa? Can we go now?!". I loved his enthusiasm, but also new that once the time actually came to see the big burly man with the white beard, his attitude might chance. That's what happened last year. But not this year...this year his excitement continued, and the magic and wonder in his eyes never left his sweet face.
The train depot was absolutely packed while waiting to see Santa. We were only able to get in a couple crafts because there was just no room to move! It was pure craziness, and as soon as we walked in I wished we could turn around and walk right back out....but we didn't. We stayed with our friends amidst the complete chaos and let Brett soak it all in. After doing the crafts, we realized we still had about an hour wait to see Santa. Brett's friends, Leo and Hazel, had come with us so their parent's could go to a holiday party, and I could tell they were ready to go. I told Brett about the long wait and that we could just see Santa at the mall another day - but there was no deterring him - he had his mind set on seeing Santa and was willing to wait as long as it took. Kyle took Leo and Hazel back to our house, and I stayed with Brett while we waited...and waited....to see the Mr. Claus. Brett confidently went through the line, patiently waiting for his turn to be the one up there with the magical fellow known as Santa Claus :-)
And finally, it was his turn.
First things, first. Giving Santa his Christmas list :-)
"Mmmm, what do we have here?"
"I see you want an airplane, legos, and a fire truck!"
Definitely worth the wait...definitely :-)
