Gracie decided she wanted to tell Santa what she wanted this year in person, not just in her letter. We always left it up to her, and this year she was determined to tell him she wanted stuff for her baby Emerson (the doll she got for Christmas last year that she adores and takes everywhere), a Zhu-Zhu pet and a snow cone machine. At the Macfarlane family Christmas party, she finally had the chance to sit on his lap and tell him her Christmas list.
Ellie, on the other hand, always said she didn't want to sit on his lap but just tell him (from a distance) what she wanted. After seeing her sister sit on Santa's lap, she changed her mind. She was very serious about the whole situation and hardly looked at Santa, but she made sure he knew she wanted candy, Barbies and Shrek (the 4th movie).
After the kids had their moments with Santa, Scott got to have one of his own as one of Santa's helpers.
After Santa headed back to the north pole, the kids all opened their gift from Santa. Ellie got the mermaid Barbie she asks for every time we go to Target and Gracie got a Snoopy snow cone machine. They were both in heaven. And Gracie informed us THAT was the real Santa, not the one at the mall or the one at her school Christmas party.
