Daddy had to go out of town this past weekend, so he didn't get to go see Santa with us, but he found a house right near our house that Santa goes to during the week. THAT was interesting! We actually just got back and the whole thing was so funny I had to write about it before I lost track of time. We get there and Meredith was adament she did not want to see Santa again. There were porch swings and Santa's golf cart that the kids could sit and play on, so we let them do all that. Unfortuantely, for the Santa house, they didn't realize what they were doing when they told the Rein girls they could do all that. So Melanie proceeded to somehow kick a portion of the bench clean off (luckily it was still usable), and Meredith was "driving" Santa's golf cart, she set off this LOUD alarm, making everyone jump and scared all the people there (it was reallllllly loud!!) Thankfully, the people there were awesome and they just laughed it off, even though I was mortified and Eric tried to get away from us so people wouldn't know he was with us! (He said since it was my look alike who did it, he didn't have to take the blame for it. :)
So we got in to see Santa, and Melanie hopped in his lap and told him what she wanted. Meredith wouldn't sit on his lap, so Santa said, "I bet Mommy will sit in my lap!" So I very carefully sat on Santa's knee, holding her carefully and making sure I was hardly putting any weight on Santa, and Eric snapped the most hilarious Santa picture I have ever seen....he looks like he is giving me a nasty look!! Maybe I have been bad this year?? :)
Seriously, though, he was super nice, and it was just really good timing on Eric's part and Santa making a face!
