Santa at Daddy's work


We saw Santa today at daddy's work. When we got there Santa was on his 'break' so we were sent to the back room for cookies, juice and holiday cartoons while we waited. We caught Santa by surprise- who was also in the back room- minus his beard, jacket, and gloves. Thankfully he still had his pants on. Liam was quite forgiving of the half dressed Santa who quickly excused himself and ho'ho'ho'ed out of the room..
