Ho ho ho meets choo choo choo

Choo choo Bob is famous in our house and we liked, I mean LOVED him long before it was even a show on pbs.  Both kids love going to the store to play with the many train tables, even though we have one in the basement.  Different place, makes for many more hours of play, I guess.  Today was no ordinary day at choo choo Bob's Santa was coming all the way from the North pole and who else to lead him into the store was Engineer Paul.  Engineer Paul is also a favorite in our house, not only for his part on the show but for his very entertaining story times that Isaac loves to go to.  

Although we were second in line for this, both kids were a little nervous.  So we sat and watched and listened while other boys and girls had their chats with Santa.  I was beginning to think Isaac was never going to go see santa when it happened.  Two little girls were asking santa for some princess dolls.  I said to Isaac,"If you don't tell santa what you want, he might just think you want princess dolls like those two girls."  Isaac,"I don't want princess dolls, I don't like them.  I will go talk to him now."

Yay!!!  They were both nervous, but Isaac talked just enough to tell santa that he did not want a princess and that he wanted trains and a hulk.  When santa asked what his sister wanted he said he did not know.  Yay!!!  That was the one question I have been avoiding because I didn't want anymore searches for toys on my hands.

Enjoy my very serious, santa goers!

Santa and Engineer paul make quite the singing duo

Santa was really getting into it

He took the jingle bells off of his reindeer before coming in he said

Yep, those are my kids!!!

talking with santa
When we got back in the car to go home Isaac said,"I am really glad that I wasn't scared and I talked to santa."  Melted my heart, I knew he wanted too, he just needed time to sit and watch first.
