Santa Claus is Coming to Town...

...and to our house! Santa & Ms. Claus dropped in for a visit on Monday night. Guess he had been checking his list and needed to know just what to bring the good little Hiler kids! Jackson & Emme were both a little apprehensive and wouldn't sit on Santa's lap or let him hold them, but they didn't cry either.

Ho Ho Ho!

Santa brought Emme a My Little Pony & magnetic "paper" dolls.

Jackson got a dinosaur & a dragon

I love his little face here - How to Train Your Dragon is his absolute favorite movie! This Night Fury dragon has slept with him every night since he got it!

Notice the body language...

Telling Santa what he wants

We tried our best to get a good picture...

Emme telling Santa what she wants

Aaron offering Santa some cookies - he wanted the whole plate, but Ms. Claus said no.

I think they wished for egg nog, lol!

Guns Up! Ms. Claus asked if we were Aggies, to which we all said very emphatically NO! She said "Oh good!" Ha! She had never done a guns up before as you can tell by the look on her face. ;)

Santa gave each of the kids a bell and told them to shake them. If the bell rings then he knows they believe in Santa Claus. Both kids bells rang!

Jackson & his Night Fury!
Emme & her My Little Pony

SPOILER ALERT! If your children are of reading age, do not let them go on...

My dad's bestie, Charlie & his wife Meg do this every year. Charlie starts growing his beard in late August & by Christmas is a pretty authentic looking Santa! Meg looks the part also! Their church collects gifts/toys each year and then Meg & Charlie take the gifts to the Ronald McDonald house & other hospitals and then they also book appearances for families and other organizations. I think my dad said they just picked up another major hospital. They were so sweet to come over and see our family - and we had a crew. Aaron's parents, my parents and my Nana were all there to see Jackson & Emme tell Santa Claus what they wanted for Christmas. We all had so much fun! Thanks Santa & Ms. Claus - we SO enjoyed your visit!
