A Visit from Bob, and other Misconceptions


This is the Santa that we have outside our home. He has a light bulb in his belly, of course. Hannah wanted to know why Santa was outside our house and not at his house. Christian convinced her that he was actually Santa's brother, Bob. Which I would think leads to the question, "OK, so what is Bob doing outside our house?" But whatever. Anyway, now she asks me everyday if Santa is coming. When I tell her no, not yet, but soon, her follow up question is always, "What about Bob, Mommy?"

The stockings are also a bit confusing. She keeps pulling them off the mantle and putting them on her feet, except that she fits both legs in them and looks like she's ready for the potato sack race. This morning she pulled mini stockings off the wall to put on each foot. You can see how confusing this might be.This morning we went to visit Santa Claus at the mall where she sat on his lap and gave him a sucker. She also took dental floss (her most favorite treat) to give him a bit. Poor Santa, I bet he get lots of sweaty candy and strange gifts. She asked him for a black race car for Christmas, who knew?

Okay, dental floss and Pez dispensers. Hannah is obviously going to grow up to be a very interesing person. I hope Santa and his brother Bob are good to you all this Christmas.
