You'd better not cry, you'd better not pout, I'm telling you why...Santa Claus is coming to Casa de Galbraith! For as long as these boys can remember, Santa Claus has been making an early stop by our house to "check-in and let them know they are on the nice list." He usually comes bearing an early gift and stories from the North Pole. Generally, good ole St. Nick doesn't appear until a couple of days before Christmas, so they were extra surprised when he made his appearance on a random Thursday night...and a school night, no less!
I love the expression of shock and joy on their faces! As Alex later said, "We weren't expecting THAT to walk through the front door!"
Alex had had a band concert early this same evening. Santa asked him to get his trumpet and play an encore performance. Alex played Jingle Bells and Santa played the real bells. Priceless!
Clark snuck in on Santa's back belt loop. He was apparently "trying to hitch a ride back to the North Pole." This is Santa giving him a stern lecture and telling him that his job wasn't finished until Christmas day. Carter thought this was hilarious!
Santa handed out their early gifts. Alex got the "Super8" movie and Carter got a couple of Star Wars action figures...go figure!
Carter telling Santa that he really wants an air soft gun and more Star Wars toys. Santa's response: "Carter, haven't I already delivered EVERY Star Wars toy my elves have ever made to this house?" Amen, Santa, Amen.
Posing with their reindeer antlers...we do this shot every year!
Russ and Santa comparing their beards...Santa wins!
Until next year...
