Santa

We went to the River Park Square Mall to see our favorite Santa.  Jason was complaining about the traffic on the drive there, but surprisingly the line for Santa was really short.  Kaiden insisted on bringing his snow globe santa to show Santa.  Kaiden asked for play doh and an air plane.  Connor asked for a Nexo Knights Lego set.  Afterwards Connor wanted to pick out some gifts at Santa Express, which benefits the Vanessa Behan Crisis Center.  You fill out a form saying who the child is shopping for and the amount you want to spend, then a volunteer takes your child shopping (in the same store but hidden from sight).  The kids get to pick the gifts out themselves.  Then they decorate paper bags and the gift goes inside the bag and gets stapled shut until Christmas.   Connor loves to go every year and puts a lot of thought into the gifts he picks out for everyone.  This year Kaiden was finally old enough to go with him... except he doesn't really have the concept down yet.  He found some toy cars on a table and spent his time lining them up.  He has some of his dad's OCD and likes his toy cars/trucks to be in a straight line.
