Tree Lighting

Cael has mentioned on numerous occasions that he really wants to pet Santa's reindeer. Being the deprived child he is, we completely ignored his request and did not do everything in our power to bring him to some real live reindeer.

Oh, wait.

Meet Dancer and Rudolph. In what was almost as anticlimactic as the ridiculously long wait to sit on Santa's lap that ended with Cael and Finn a good 3 feet from St. Nick and Cael whispering in Ryan's ear, "Tell him I want a robot," Cael didn't get to pet them. But he did get close enough to be offended by how "stinky!" they were.

And the childhood fantasies already begin to crumble.

But the boys got to hang with Dad, Mom and Uncle Marty while chewing on some soft pretzel bites, so it wasn't a total bust. I'd say they even enjoyed themselves.

And hey, photo op!

Christmas posts before Thanksgiving. You're welcome.
