Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve every year we are lucky to be invited to the Smith house.  And, each year Santa (yes, THE Santa) makes a visit and gives the kids an early Christmas present.  I remember the first time we went there was no Bryce and seeing Cayden see Santa come into the house made me cry. He was just so delighted and happy.  Bryce, on the other hand, does not appreciate the sight of Santa in the same way.  He has never gotten withing 2 ft of Santa without someone with him.  So, this year poor Santa had to endure both Bryce and me on his lap.  Our friend Palmer was Santa's special helper telling Santa a little something about each child that was called to sit on the lap.  When Cayden came up Palmer said, "That's Cayden.  He's in a special class for 4th Graders that are smarter than other 4th graders."  When it was Palmer's turn to get his present he told Santa, "I tell all my friends that you are real even if they don't believe in you." So sweet!
