Sitting with Santa

Grandma H and Mark

Mark and Makenna got to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas, which was exactly what they had just written on their lists to him. Funny back story: We have an Elf on the Shelf in our house this year, who the kids named Sleighbell. He watches them to see if they are naughty or nice and reports back to Santa. Well, we let the kids know if they are bad, Sleighbell will take their stocking back to Santa. So the other night Makenna was so bad, that the next morning, her stocking was gone. Silly me, thinking she would be upset about that. She was not. She just had this smirk on her face. So while we were in Pa, we got an "email" from Santa letting her know that she is on the Naughty List. Again, she was grinning ear to ear. However, when she sat on Santa's lap, she looked at me like, what should I do? So I gave her a nod letting her know that she could tell him what she wanted. It was pretty funny.
