Sitting with Santa

We took the boys for pizza with Santa at our church today. At first I thought we weren't even going to leave the house as Thing 1 was having some difficulties. He was very whiny and wasn't listening, even when we told him to put his coat on. We did decide to continue with our plan to have pizza with Santa, which I think in the end was a good decision. They had lots of craft projects for the kids to do while waiting for the pizza and Santa to arrive. Thing 1 did 3 craft projects while we were there and actually completed one all on his own. He was polite and cooperative the entire time we were there. The only thing he wasn't too sure about was Santa (which required me to sit in on the picture).

Oh, and Thing 2 was much more interested in the lights on the tree next to him than in the guy in the red suit.

**We also noticed after we sat back down at one of the craft tables, that Thing 2 had a handful of Santa's beard in his hand!
