There are definitely perks to having grandparents in assisted living. Aside from the health and care benefits for them, Legacy House throws some pretty great parties! Last weekend, Santa and Mrs. Claus made a visit. They brought breakfast for everyone and were happy to have grandbabies sit on their laps. It was surprisingly not busy so were able to walk right up and make our Christmas wishes.
Paige told Santa that she wanted a Nintendo DS. Mrs. Claus told us that their electronic elves were really busy this year and they would really try to hold one aside, but just in case they were out (thank you, thank you!!) did she have a back up idea? She then asked for a sewing machine.
Claire wasn't much easier to please. She promptly asked for a bunk bed. She promised that she and Paige would take turns sleeping on the top. And then she would like a "real live toy cat" to sleep with her in it.
Thankfully, Bode was easy. He whispered to Santa that he wears a size 3 diaper and he likes the baby wipes from Costco.
Merry Christmas!!

Hey Brooke,
I heard that Santa's elves were busy on the electronic end too.
My biggest boy, Dayne, is asking for a Wii. Make sure you tell him what Mrs. Clause said about this!:)
Dayne told me of your amazing idea for the "big present". That is so amazing and I hope you are there to see their faces when they wake up! HOLY CRAP.. my kids would never sleep through that. My parents once slept in the living room and hid under the piano so they could video tape us opening one of our presents. It would be a good memory to get on tape.
We took the kids to see santa and the real reindeer today and neither kids were too impressed. Maybe in a few years.
After Kadyn got on his lap he decided that he was ok with it and started to tell Santa what was on his list but the stinkin' santa didn't even act like he was listening. Hopefully he isn't too traumatized!
super cute!!! looks like the kiddos had a good visit with santa. I'm impressed on how authentic they look.
