This weekend our daughter, Jen, and our grandson, Dean, came for a visit. Marcus had to work, so they decided to get out of the house and come see Grammy/GoGo and Papa. (The jury is still out on my official grandma name.) We had such a wonderful time going to the park, out to eat, playing in the yard and in the house, going to the Arts and Crafts Fair at our church, and visiting Santa Claus at a local store. But, the most fun of all came on Saturday night when a friend of ours who is playing Santa this year at parties came by our house to surprise Dean. We were all surprised!
We had just come back from looking at Christmas lights around town and were in the kitchen making faces at each other. Judging by Dean's laughter, I make the best faces. Through all the laughter, we heard a loud, "HO HO HO!" from the living room, went in there, and saw Santa Claus right in our house! Dean was a bit shy at first. I wonder what was going through his mind. He sat in Santa's lap, but he wouldn't look straight at him for a few minutes. But, Santa talked to him and Dean quickly warmed up to Santa. They gave each other high fives and fist bumps and it was so much fun to see them interact. Santa told Dean that he'll be visiting him at his house and at our house this year. Wow! What kid wouldn't love that?
The visit was as much fun for the adults as it was for Dean. We got some great pictures so that we can hold on to this memory. Thank you, Santa, for making our Christmas merrier this year. We love you.
