Phone call to Santa

Yup, that's right ... we called the big man himself! While skimming the pages of our local newspaper, Chuck noticed that Santa was taking calls tonight from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. So, after everyone had completed their dinner we sat down with the phone. 

A very nice elf answered the phone at Santa's Workshop and then got each of the kids names and their ages. Santa was out feeding the reindeer so we had to wait a few minutes. It wasn't too long before Santa was there chatting with each of the kids. 

Chloe asked for a Barbie, Gavin asked for a remote control truck or car and Zack asked for a Bob Builder cup. (All very different things from the letters they sent Santa earlier this month ... ???!!) Before we said goodbye, the kids sang, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" to Santa. He said it was the best version he'd ever heard. (I would have to agree ... it was stinkin' adorable!) 

Much love,

PS -- Bravo to the company that put this all together ... it was a local real estate company fielding the calls. It's all part of a tradition dating back more than 20 years. VERY COOL! :)
