Visiting Santa 2011

Kailer just knew that if wanted to earn any brownie points with the big man at the North Pole this year he was going to have to go and sit on his lap and tell him what he wanted for Christmas!  I have to admit, I had my doubts about the whole idea, but he proved me wrong!! 
When we got to the mall where Santa was visiting, we patiently stood in line for our turn.  We couldn't see Jolly 'Ol St. Nick, but we could hear a little one about Kailer's age crying, to which I immediately said to Dan, "Don't let Kailer see that little boy."  So we stood in line until it was our turn, psyching Kailer up for this momentous occasion - after all, this was going to be his first time of telling Santa exactly what he wanted for Christmas!! 
At long last it was our turn and Dan says to Kailer, "All right, go and see him." To which Kailer quickly turns to me with his 'I'm not so sure look' on his face.  But I cheerfully grab his hand and take him to sit on Santa's lap!  Once he got situated and could tell that everything was going to be okay, he proceeded to tell Santa his Christmas wish list!  It was the cutest thing ever and it made me, once again, realize how much he's grown up in such a short amount of time!
Below you will find the link of a video that Santa and his elves made for Kailer.  Hope you enjoy watching it - Kailer's enjoyed watching it - umm, many times! :)
