Lump of Coal...?


Judging by the encounter with Santa this past Sunday at Old Waverly, Hughes may be getting only a lump of coal in his stocking this year!

Oh...Nah!  Maybe we will up it to 2 pieces of fruit and a candy cane.

I snuck Santa Hughes wish list while Kent was prying Hughes from Santa's chilly fingertips...it's cold at the North Pole you know!

I was SO disappointed that Hughes didn't hang out with Santa, kiss his cheek, give him five...

you know...all the things Hughes does whenever he sits in someones lap.

Hughes is not afraid of new people...normally.

But, Santa, was a whole new ballgame.

I mean, Hughes is a boy.  Boys are scared of Santa.

Once again.  I have been proven wrong. 

Hughes enjoys doing this to me lately.

Well, there is always next year.


Random Thought:  Don't you know that Santa dressed in his red attire, hopped on his sleigh and his belly jiggled like a bowl full of jelly as he chuckled thinking of all the Christmas cheer he was about to bring to all the good girls and boys at Old Waverly.  he even brought cookies and candy canes for everyone.

Much to his dismay, more children cried with fear than smiled with glee when their parents and grandparents threw the sweet babies in Santa's lap.

Poor Santa.  I hope we didn't hurt his feelings.

Maybe we should make him an extra cookie Christmas Eve and make that glass of whole milk steaming hot chocolate to make up for the sadness we brought him.

He has feelings too, after all.

Santa is a little frightening if you stop and think about it. I mean Jack will barely go to his family that he sees 4 times a year...there is zero chance that he will sit in Santa's lap (unless he gains courage watching Kate do it)...but I doubt it!

Love the family picture. Looks like it's a tradition!
