As our extended family and friends present time wrapped up, we began to talk of hearing reindeer hooves and bells outside.  We kept asking the girls to listen closely because we thought we kept hearing signs of Santa.  Right as Anna Kate peeked through the shutters, Santa appeared on the back porch!  She was in shock!  They all were!

 

Rose immediately ran up to Santa saying “Hi Santa!” just like he was an old friend.  After that, the night was simply magical!

 

Each girl ran to Santa in turn, and he was so kind and excited to see them too!

Anna Kate was a little star struck to have Santa in our house!  She’s my timid one, so she had to take a second to process everything.

 

Once it clicked in her head that Santa was really at her house, and everything was okay, she got super excited!  She did ask Mike why he came through the back door and not down the chimney, and Mike said because he knew the children were awake, and he didn’t have their presents.  Good call.  She was okay with that!

 

After Rose had a little one-on-one time, the girls all gathered in Santa’s lap for some Christmas carols.  Noelle had her jungle bells and even baby Rose joined in the singing.  It was amazing!

After all the initial visiting and singing came to an end, Santa gave the most incredible performance of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” that we have ever heard.  It was from his perspective, of course.

 

He was so animated, and the girls eyes were so big.  They giggled and then deep chuckled but never took their eyes off of Santa.  I just can’t describe how special it was for our family.

Mom was touched by his sweet temperament, talent and overall countenance of Christmas spirit and love!

This was a Christmas Eve visit we will never forget!!!  If you would like Santa to come to your house next year, he can!!!  He works out all the details with the parents ahead of time and is very flexible.  He memorizes all the kids names, ages, and even asks about their personalities and what they want for Christmas.  He’s coming to your house as a friend of the family, and you will feel just that.  Everyone needs to experience this at least once while the kids are little.  I think Anna Kate was the perfect age, although Rose really got into it as well.  Noelle was charmed by the whole experience!

Please call Chuck Lee and visit with him about a Santa visit to your house.  His phone number is 972-978-9535.  He is fully certified with all the bells and whistles and is a family friend of some of our dearest friends, so we trust him completely.  I really hope this will bless another DFW family out there like it has ours… and he is the nicest man you will ever meet… he’s the real deal!
