Finally....They Meet!!!!

Ah, finally after lots of Hoho sightings....these 2 finally have a face to face encounter!!! But it didn't happen in the old fashioned way. We didn't wait in line at the mall and wait and wait and wait, and then purchase that overpriced picture where the kid looks scared out of their wits. Nope, not this momma. We gave old Hoho a sneak attack......let me explain.Our town has lots of fun things for kids this time of year. One of which was a story time....and a promise of a visit of the big man himself. So...I packed up my little munchkin, dressed him in a cute sweater, and off we went. Now his intention was to listen to some stories, see Santa, play with some kids, and have some fun. My intention was to try to score a picture with this unsuspecting Santa.
The stories began and as you can see it was about How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Ok, a little old for my boy....but I still had another motive here. All of a sudden Santa arrived. Yippee, my plan is underway. He sat and listened to the first story and then announced he had to go and feed the reindeer. Ok...this was my moment. Jae-min and I packed up and followed Santa through the store (it was a furntiure store no less). We then said "excuse me Santa I was wondering if you would take a picture with my son". In true Santa fashion he looked into Jae-min's eyes, sat down on a comfy chair, and said "of course!!!"


So...this is our picture with Santa!!! Ok, I know Jae-min has a winter coat on covering the cute sweater, but hey, what do you want for a low down mission? Jae-min asked Hoho for a "choo choo, crayons, safety scissors, and muffins" Um yup, muffins!!!! He then said "hi Hoho, how you doing?" they had a little chat, gave alittle hug, and he was off to feed the reindeer.
Ah......MISSION COMPLETE!!!!
