A Visit with Santa Claus

Guess who got to see Santa today?  You’re right, it was Casper.  But I think he had more fun playing with the toys at Bass Pro.  He was shooting a toy rifle, bow and arrows, running the train, and driving the remote control trucks.  He wasn’t much interested in talking to the big guy, despite his excitement on the way there.  Eventually, after Mommy struck up a conversation and Daddy walked up to meet Santa with Casper, he finally relaxed a little.  No tears this year, just not interested.  Once we got Casper talking about what he wants for Christmas, he had a lot to say to Santa and eventually let go of Daddy’s arm…I think the promise of a Candy Cane helped too.SCAN0006

In case you’re wondering, Casper asked for a new guitar.  One of the tuning knobs is broken off his old guitar and it’s for right handed kids anyway…Casper’s a lefty.  Santa asked Casper if he knew how to play the guitar and he said “Yes, I sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”  Hopefully, Santa will get Casper just what he wants!!
