Dad picked us up from the airport and off to dinner at Noah’s favorite, California Pizza Kitchen! (Lu is so sick of it, I have to go to Panera and bring hers into the restaurant.)
As we told the stories from Birmingham, I thought…we are at the Millenia Mall, let’s see if we can do pictures! (Sorry to break this to everyone, but this is one of the only stops that the real Santa makes to take pictures.)
We finished dinner and headed down to the village where “millions” of children were waiting. When it was our turn, Landin and Noah walked towards Santa and he said “Good to see you Noah!!! And look how big you and Landin are getting!!” Noah turned back to me and almost fainted! The kids eye were HUGE – and frankly, so were mine.” I asked Dennis “Did you tell them their names?” He said “No!”
Santa went on and on, asking about his Legos, Star Wars, Landin’s princess birthday…. we were shocked as were they!!! At the end of the pictures, Santa grabbed Dennis and asked if “the kids enjoyed the message?” Dennis got the biggest smile I had ever seen!! Way back in June, we got a message on his cell phone from Santa!!! It was crazy!!! It was him!!! (And we really don’t know how he got Dad’s cell number!) Welcome to our “Miracle on 34th Street!”
Thank you Santa! For your prayers and your kindness! And I thought you just kept a list…I didn’t know you subscribed to blogs as well!! 
May God Bless you all and to all a good night!

What a fabulous day that must have been for the kids… I can see by their faces (on those magnificent photos) that they had such a wondrous time.
Love, hugs & prayers always!
