Seeing Santa!

Asher and Journey know that Christmas is all about Jesus. We've explained that Santa, just like the snowman,
is just something fun that we see around Christmastime. They still enjoy watching movies about him
 and looking for him (even in pictures) and going to seeing him. Asher calls it "Santa hunting". 

This year Journey was not shy at all and ran right up to see him. 

Asher, not so much. 

Fortunately no one else was waiting, so Santa spent awhile talking to him 

and by the end of our visit, he did give him a hug and a high five.

But then on Christmas Eve, we had a sleepover at their cousins' house 

and just as the kids were getting ready for bed, they heard a "Ho Ho Ho"! 

He stayed to read them the story of Baby Jesus' birth! 

The funniest part was when Santa's cell phone rang;

 it turns out he has the exact same ringer as Grandpa. Ha!
