Meeting the BIG guy

Tonight our ward had their Christmas party. On the invitation it said that Santa would be coming for a visit. I was talking to Ammon about it and how this wasn't the real Santa, but it was one of his helpers. Later he told dad "It's not the real Santa dad. The real Santa is at the North Pole making toys for Christmas. This is one of his helpers dressed like Santa."


At the dinner he kept asking when Santa was going to come. He patiently waited through a good part of the program, then wandered off with a friend. He came back to me just before the big guy made his entrance. When Ammon first saw Santa walk in, his eyes lit up and he had a sweet soft smile on his face. He kept trying to see him around all the people in front of him. Santa asked the kids if they wanted to meet him. Ammon turned to dad and said "Yes I want to meet him."
They waited in line patiently for his turn to sit on Santa's lap. Santa was working his magic and knew most of the kids names. Ammon told him he wanted Star Wars stuff for Christmas. Rebecca just looked at him, not scared at all.


Corrine went up with her friends Mia and Lauryn. Corrine told him she wanted an American Girl Doll.

Simeon went up with his friends Jonathon and Cameron. Simeon told Santa he wanted a helicopter, cell phone and BYU season tickets. Santa then gave the kids a stocking with some goodies in it.


We don't go and see Santa, so this was a treat for the kids to get to meet him and tell him what they wanted for Christmas.
