Monday night the kids got ready for bed early, so they could watch a Christmas movie. Babe was on TV, so they settled for that instead. While watching Quincy said, "Mom, can Santa bring me a pink pig for Christmas?" I was seriously just thinking to myself, "how cute would it be to get the kids a little pig for Christmas! (perfect gift for kids that live on a farm)" I picked up the phone and while I was dialing said, "I'm going to call...." and before I could say "my Dad," to see if it was even a possibility, Quincy shouted out, "SANTA? Mom, do you know Santa's numbers!?!?" Thinking (or hoping) my Dad wouldn't answer, I quickly replied, "EVERY Mom and Dad has Santa's phone number!" Just then, "Hey Noe," my Dad answered. "Santa?" He caught on quickly and shouted back, "HO, HO, HO!" I said, "Quincy's been a very good girl, and wants to tell you what she wants for Christmas...." A little laugh from Santa. I handed Q the phone, and she said in an anxious yet semi-confused voice, "Santa?" Her face instantly lit up, it was THE cutest thing. The conversation was short, and she handed me back the phone. "Hello?" My Dad could hardly talk he was laughing so hard. Once he could talk again-without laughing, Parker and Conway had their turns. I don't know who loved it more....my kids or my Dad. It was great, and will for sure be a new tradition to call Santa on the phone each year. Of course they've asked every night since if they could call him again....we simply have to remind them that Santa is busy making a list and checking it twice. Simple pleasures mean so much to innocent kids, I love it! Of course my kids had to call all their cousins after and tell them they talked to Santa on the phone.....which I'm sure their Mom's and Dad's appreciated. Santa Wayne is $5 a phone call-if anyone else would like to start the tradition in their family contact me for his digits-lol.
