Santa

Today we picked up John for lunch and went to see Santa Claus.  Ben and Mollie were very excited.  Ben has asked a 1000 questions about Santa this year.  He had drawn a list, but then forgot to bring it.  He realized as we were leaving that he had forgotten to tell Santa one thing.  I told him we could write Santa a letter.  Ben responded, "We'll send him an e-mail.  Santa has a computer doesn't he?"

Mollie got a little shy when it was time to talk to Santa.  One day last week, she came running into the laundry room where I was and wanted me to come with her.  She led me to a picture of Ben sitting in Santa's lap from a couple of years ago.  She was so excited when she pointed to it and said, "Look, Santa!"

This is Ben's list:  a microphone, a jigsaw puzzle, Starburst candy, a racecar, and a Pluto costume.  The Pluto costume was added later and kind of came out of nowhere.  That's the one he forgot to tell Santa.
