Taking the kids to see Santa for the first time was very exciting.  Mostly for me.  Martin wasn't too sure about Santa, and Sophie screamed her head off.  As you'd expect, they've matured over the past few years and now they LOVE Santa.  They are very eager to please Santa and his name has recently been my most frequently used bribe/threat.  My Christmas wish is that it holds up for just a few more weeks.
