The "Real" Deal!

Happy Birthday, Mom!! We had the best day ever, and we love you..."to the moon, and back again!!!" Lunch at Cincos with Aunt Janet was really yummy!!! We love you too, Aunt Janet!

Then we "finally got to see the "REAL SANTA" at Phipps!! We have waited since we first made our appointment in October.

We picked Stanton and Stafford up at school, thus the uniforms, and headed up 400 to see Santa Claus himself!

All Brighton could ask for was to feel better...yep, he got SICK all over himself as we pulled into the parking lot. My poor Mom...all she could do was LAUGH! As I, yes indeed, parked the car, scooped out the mess, used some wipes and a "little" Tide stick, some antibacterial gel, I declared..."perfect...we have 15 minutes to spare...come on guys, we are off to see the REAL DEAL, the REAL Santa!!" A little cologne in the men's department, and strict orders not to allow Brighton to sit on Santa's actual lap...just look, smile, ask nicely, say thanks Santa, and go on your way!! Humility you say...we made this appointment October 16Th!! My poor little buddy!!

* Please note an amazing fact...Brighton was sick...really sick, on the way home, all night, high fever, slept in our bed, no Bo checked "out" for the night, and no one else...knock on wood, has received this illness...pretty weird, huh?!!
Here he is...the REAL DEAL!!! Isn't he "beautiful?!!!" Please keep Santa in your prayers that he doesn't get sick!

Merry Christmas!!!
