A Visit with Santa

This year, Connor asked Santa to bring 200 Webkinz, please! Santa told Connor he’d have to see if he could find a big enough box. Ryan requested Legos, cars, and Webkinz – he said he’d let Santa decide how many. And now two very wound-up, excited little boys are tucked in their beds, visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads. And in the wee hours of the morning, those same two little boys will scurry down the stairs to see if Santa did indeed bring 200 Webkinz!

Merry Christmas!
God bless us, one and all!
