Santa You haven't met Peer Hoondyke, let me introduce you!

So we had to go see Santa when he came to town this weekend. Hayden was about to jump out of his skin to see him, damn that long line we had to wait in. Cameron, was less than thrilled to be there, but was being a good sport about the whole thing, along with daddy.

So finally came our turn, Hayden runs up first, and tells Santa he would like the "First Gift of Christmas!" and Santa's little elf helper slips a bell in his pocket! (we rigged that up) but he was so excited! Then he told Santa that he wanted a Candy Cane which the elf was giving to all the kids. He was pretty pshyced!

then it was Camerons turn, He a slight look of horor in his face. But the man playing Santa was really good and coxed him over, and to my suprise Cameron agreed to sit on his knee. Then he spoke....I didn't here what he said and neither did Santa, so I Had to come in closer for a better listen, "Tell Santa what you said."

"Me, Peer Hoondyke."

I died laughing and Santa was left scratching his head! he was very confused. How do you explain to poor Santa that my 2 year old has an alter-ego.

stay tuned for a picture of Peer and Santa
