Tonight Owen stood patiently in the rain to wait for a visit with Santa. He was promised a lollipop (candycane) and gosh darn it if he wasn't going to get it (Owen kept calling it a "special lollipop.") We waited for probably 20 minutes in a massive downpour but the end result was worth it. Since the picture is a given, I decided to bring along the video camera and I'm glad I did. You can almost see the "Christmas Magic" in Owen's eyes when he firsts walks in and greets the Big Man. He's starting to feel the magic of Santa and I love it.
You'll hear Owen talking a LOT about choo-choos. This is because Santa's house is about 100 yards away from the railroad tracks and while we were waiting, about 5 trains came by - whistles blaring. It was very distracting for Owen who was completely torn between Santa/Lollipop and Train/DingDings. So when another train came by when we were inside Santa's house, Owen had to educate Mr. Claus a little about the sounds that were coming from outside.
I hear a train!
