Santa And His Elves

We've been quite the busy little elves recently, trying to get ready to head to TN for the holidays and also to have our own family time together. We've braved the crowds to do some last-minute Christmas shopping, we've packed up boxes to take to the post office (sadly, these gifts are going to be late!), and we've taken full advantage of Amazon's free 2-day shipping. We're not quite ready to work at the North Pole, but we're trying!

One of the funnier things that happened during all our running around was our trip to Bass Pro Shops. We were headed in to look for a gift, not thinking at all about Santa being there. Well, as we entered the store, one of the employees said that since Hampton was dressed up for Christmas, he needed to visit Santa. Little did the man know that Hampton has been dressed for Christmas all month! Anyway, we decided that since the zoo visit was a bust, and the Wharf Santa fell through, that maybe the third time would be the charm. Oh, not so much! Hampton was already trying to get away as we walked up to him, but Santa tried to bribe him with a candy cane. Hampton promptly offered his candy cane to the reindeer, but still wouldn't have a thing to do with Mr. Claus. We snapped a picture anyway. Doesn't everyone just look so happy? At least we got a good laugh out of it!
