Santa at Storytime!

We went to storytime at Barnes and Noble tonight and were so surprised to see that Santa was there!! He read The Polar Express! It was alot of fun and Ella was so excited. I wish I would have brought my camera, but I thought it would just be the usual story and didn't realize how special it would be! What a bummer! They had a special time where the kids could visit with Santa and sit on his lap and you could take pictures. This would have been way better then paying the outrageous prices at the mall. But nope. No camera with me, go figure!

They had cookies and hot chocolate for the kids and this made Ella *very* happy.

Ella wouldn't sit on his lap. When I tried to put her up there she started to cry. But she did say hello to him and tried to call back that she wanted a Dora doll as we walked away. Hee hee. Kinda reminded me of Ralphie on Christmas Story! Noah loved Santa, but he loves people in general!

Here are a couple of pics from my cell phone:

This is how Ella wanted to take her pic "with" Santa. lol

And here is Noah..not even looking at the camera, but you get the idea!
