We got our family pictures taken on December 2nd at Oakview Mall in Omaha, so we made sure the kids got to see Santa Clause that day. Alden was afraid of him and wouldn't sit on his lap, so we just got a picture of the girls. Clair didn't even cry!! :) Alden made sure to tell Santa that he wanted Legos for Christmas though! He started by whispering it in Doug's ear, but he was told Santa had to hear him so he started to yell Legos until Santa had heard. Samantha had specific details on the My Little Pony House she wants! Santa asked if she meant a stable for her ponies but Sam was clear that it was a Doll House for her Ponies (witch it does say doll house on the box) What kid corrects santa? Clair didn't give him any requests, so it will be a surprise what she gets! Alden made sure to give Santa a "high five" as he left just to secure his Christmas Presents. :) As we left, they gave us "elf ears" that the kids could wear. Santa's Helpers also made sure to point out that there was a coupon for Build A Bear on it. We kind of ignored that comment, and didn't think the kids heard them. Boy were we wrong!! Doug had to leave to go back to work, so I took all 3 kids to eat at the food court while we waited on pictures, and all I heard was are we going to Build A Bear next?? And the winning started when I said 'no way'! After a phone call to Doug, we both decided they could get a $10 animal and no clothing for it - since their coupon was for $5 off a $10 animal. Luckily, they picked the same bear, so no fighting over each other's bear! They both zonked out on the way home! Exhausting day! I was wishing that I could sleep on the way home too! :)
