We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!! We missed seeing all of our family this time of year, but please know that we love you very much.
Here are some of our favorite memories that we made this Christmas 2007...
The boys visiting Santa's "brother" who was helping out this year at the mall. We had to settle for him because the real Santa and Mrs. Claus, who is usually at Nordstrom and we have visited with for the past 5 years was missing!! The boys were really concerned, but knew that there letters would somehow get to the North Pole.
After our visit at the mall we decided to go to Chick-fil-a near our house. We were almost finished with lunch when a familiar looking couple walked in. I noticed their friendly smiles from Nordstrom and wondered if it was the "real Santa & Mrs. Claus"??? The boys made several passes by their booth to see if they recognized them....they weren't quite sure because they were in plain clothes and they had never seen Santa dipping chicken nuggets!! Sooo...I decided to take action! We walked over to the couple and asked them if they usually worked at Nordstrom this time of year......and then we heard, "Ho Ho Ho!! Why yes! We sure do" It was them! The boys were so excited!!! We told them we missed seeing them at Nordstrom and they said that sometimes they went "undercover" to watch the children in "real life" so they can see if they truly are being good.
This was our little Christmas Miracle that we were the ONLY ones who recognized them for who they really were. Luckily I had a camera and was able to get a picture of Santa & Mrs. Claus with the boys....it was a special moment for us all!!
