We had such a wonderful night last week hanging out with over 15 Santas, celebrating Christmas in July with a toy drive for the kids in Moore, OK.  Chuck Lee, Santa on the right, is our family\u2019s Santa, and has become a dear friend to us, spreading love and cheer everywhere he goes!  I can\u2019t wait for the Moore kiddos to see all of these amazing Santas deliver their presents to them in true Santa fashion!<\/p>\n

Mrs. Claus had a fun pass-the-present game, and Noelle ended up winning!<\/p>\n

Lots of Christmas in July Santas!  I bought these little rompers for the girls last January on clearance.  At the time, I had buyer\u2019s remorse because I knew it would be too cold in December to wear them and was disappointed I had bought them.  Now I know that we needed them for this.  So many people smiled at the girls and were tickled to see our cuties laughing and having fun in the square!  It was meant to be!<\/p>\n

Mrs. Claus was so excited to see the girls!  They had a lot of fun being all dressed up together!  Rose and Santa Chuck have a special little bond; they understand each other in a unique way, and it is such a joy to see her get to have a little friendship with Santa Claus!<\/p>\n

One of the Lone Star Santas brought his fun Santa truck, and the girls had a blast tooting the horn and checking it out!<\/p>\n

Our Santa had a picnic with us during the event!  The girls were chatty, and it is so cool hearing how casually they talk to Santa Chuck.  He makes it his mission to know all about his kiddos, so he can talk to them about the things that matter most to them.  He\u2019d be happy to be your family Santa too!<\/p>\n
