Santa visit

We took the kids to the new outlets at Traverse Mountain tonight. We didn't know that Santa would be there. And apparently neither did anyone else. There was no line. The kids sat on his lap and had a conversation. Ava told him she wanted princess stuff. Lily said she wanted a video camera (a fake plastic one) and a journal with a lock. Calvin said he wanted an art set.  He was very nice and told them he had a special surprise for each of them for Christmas morning, but for right now a little present would do and he gave them a small coloring book. Ava looked at the book and there was a picture of a cartoon Santa on the front and she looked up at Santa and hollered, "hey, that's you on dis book, Santa, it's you on da book, Santa, it's you. " He and just smiled at her.
