decking the halls

Today Santa visited a little restaurant in our neighborhood. After Canon sat on his lap, we decided to eat at the restaurant. Since the temperature was still hovering near 70 degrees, we ate on the outdoor patio. That's when we saw Santa hop in his Corvette which had a skull and crossbones decal on the side. Canon waved wildly as he sped off while talking on his cell phone.

My girl is pretty smart, so I worried what she would think of Santa's many faces. We saw Santa at the mall on Thursday and then another Santa tonight. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. She told me the other Santa with the glasses is going to bring her toys. And the Santa we saw today is going to bring her "blue pajamas with no flowers on them".

This year we opted for a mini-tabletop tree, one that is totally out of Elly's way. Tonight as we were decorating the tree, Canon asked to place an ornament. I told her I was going to put it on the tree. Her response...."dammit (pause) dammit, dammit, dammit." Hmmmm....happy holidays!

Love the Santa story! Canon is one smart girl...she has it all worked out in her head and it makes perfect sense. She's something else!

As for her response...I just laughed and laughed. Where in the world did that come from? I don't think I've ever heard you curse around the girls so I'm wondering which other family member she picked it up from. There's plenty of aunts, uncles, and grandparents that could be the culprits. How funny.

Well, she used it in context. Way to teach grammer at home.

Don't feel bad. No one else can understand what he's saying, but my two year old has said "dammit" a time or two recently.
