We had a wonderful time with Gran & Pop today. The five of us went to Huntsville and saw Nana Gaynell and Poppa Jim. Then we spent a couple of happy hours at Santa's Village, meeting elves, seeing reindeer, decorating cookies, playing in a snow shower, hearing a story, watching a blacksmith at work, and meeting Santa. Dennis was overjoyed, of course. And I most loved the car talk with Gran & Pop, treasuring these few remaining days before they move away. Today was our gift to them, but it was more of a gift to us.
We waited in an excruciatingly long line to see Santa, but when we reached his beautifully decorated living room, I heard Dennis' sharp intake of breath followed by his reverent whisper "it's the real Santa!". Real Santa, real reindeer, real snow... Wow! What a day for a 5 year old!
