Ben & "Ho Ho"

We were a little late going to see Santa this year as Ben had been sick all last week. Some virus got a hold of him and he had a nasty cough, high fever and a lot of snot. Poor kid didn't get to go to school and missed bringing snack which also meant he missed his turn being line leader. He was not happy about that and we are still hearing about it a week later!

Here is a peek of what my week looked like...

We decided to wait to until Ben was feeling better to make our visit to "Ho Ho's House" as Ben calls it. This year we kept talking about how we were going to go and how he needed to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas. We went on Monday and were fully prepared for a repeat of years past...

But much to our disappointment surprise he didn't shed a tear. He gave Santa a high five, got on his lap and told him that he wanted a "big black monster truck" and an "umbrella" and then promptly asked us if we could please go home now. I know so many  people were waiting on the iconic Ben & Santa pic and I really still can't believe we don't have it! But maybe the babies will follow in their big brothers fear of Jolly Old St Nick.
