For some it is a jubilant joyous time, for others it is downright scary. You can guess in our family who fit into what category. Nanny and Grandad took us to see Santa on Saturday. The kids got all dolled up in their Grandma Florence special Christmas outfits and were so excited for the day. We almost washed away getting there. It has been raining TONS and we had to drive through rivers of water to get to the garden center we always go to to see the man in the red suit. They enjoyed the white wolves and other many lights. Then the ride to the north pole began. I think Katya really believed we were in a dog sled on our way there. Oliver was wary from the outset. But Katya kept encouraging him and showing him the way. She sat very quietly next to Santa and whispered her answers to his questions. She was VERY serious about the whole affair. No smiling, no crying, just down to business. Ollie just cried and wanted me to hold him, no sitting on Santa's knee for him! Katya is so sweet with him, she wants him to do everything that she does. She mothers him like a proper oldest sister! She is learning from a pro though wouldn't you say younger siblings of mine? It was overall a really nice morning!
