Madigan has heard these words many times over the last few weeks. Hey, might as well use it while it will work!
But on Saturday, Santa Claus really did come to town and even spent a couple of hours at our church for "Santa Day". Madigan was SO excited to see him and to give him the card she'd made for him. Until he arrived, that is. Then it took about 2 hours and 10 adults trying all of the tricks to convince her to sit with him and get her picture made. This picture does a good job of capturing this struggle...
FINALLY, our efforts paid off and she sat with him. What finally changed her mind? I told her that Santa wouldn't know what to bring her for Christmas if she didn't sit with him and tell him. And if he didn't know what to bring her, she might not get anything. Does that make me a bad mom? Don't answer that. Anyway, it worked, but she was still a little nervous...
But after only a minute or two she figured out that Santa was pretty cool. She even talked to him and smiled for the camera!
Paxton had no issues with fear. He happily lounged with Santa and shared with him his Christmas wishes. 
"So here's what I've been thinking Santa..."
Santa was also sweet enough to oblige me and hold Paxton up on his shoulder so that we could get a picture of the "Little Elf" on the bottom of his outfit. Isn't that cute?!
All in all, a great Santa Day. Santa, if you're reading this, thanks for spending the day with us at Levy! Everyone had a wonderful time!
