Santa sure knows a lot about us

Saturday we had three choices.

Go to the Ward Christmas Party and see Santa. And not cook dinner.

Stay home and more than likely fight. And go to the grocery store.

Or go to Logan for the USU men's basketball game and cheer on Danny Berger (who nearly died four days ago after his heat suddenly stopped at a practice). And go out to eat.

Two options resulted in little to no food choices for the remaining part of the weekend. And each kid wanted something different. 

So we split.

Girls went to the Christmas Party and boys headed to Logan to see "Big Boo" as Cole calls him. And no one went to the grocery store.

I was very impressed with the decor. Snowflakes made out of sparkly Popsicle sticks! Seriously. Stop the cuteness! I think I could even handle those. 

Pearl on the other hand was very impressed by Santa's knowledge of our family. Except for the slight mishap with her name... Santa was convinced her name was "Pickles" and not Pearl. That got a good giggle out of her! She told me afterward that Buddy the Elf must be going back to report to Santa every night because, "Santa sure knows a lot about us!"

When Santa asked Pearl what she wanted for Christmas, she eagerly told him, "An American doll and girl Legos." At least she is consistent... she's been asking for those two items for months. And is quick to remind us that Santa didn't bring her an American Girl doll last year and that she wants the REAL American Girl dolls. 

I hope Santa was taking notes.
