Doug and I decided to go to visit his sister Jill who lives down in Huntington Beach. Doug's cousin also lives down there so it fun to visit all of them. We wanted to take Declan to see Santa so we all decided to go down together.
Once Doug and I got to jill's house we all drove down to the Fashion Place mall where there was a nice Santa Display. We were very excited to see no one in line to see Santa. So we went up to the worker and asked how long the wait was. He told us that they were trying a new system and we had to text santa to get on a waiting list. But we could text him til about 2:00. Since we had 2 hours to spare we decided to kill some time and go get some lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.
At 2:00 the two dad's ran down to get our name on the list. We found out that we still had another hour and a half to wait. Ugh! Not so fun with 3 little kids.
Once our time had finally arrived we learned that santa had gone on a break and we still had another half an hour to wait. We weren't thrilled to hear this news, and we told the workers that this new system was not very effective.
Once we finally got in to see Santa, the santa looked amazing and was so good with the kids. After seeing how cute the pictures were all of our stress and anger somehow didn't matter as much. All, in all we had a great time and always enjoy spending time with Jill and Doug's cousins,,,Stephanie and Eric.
Texting Santa!?!? Ha, yeah, not so sure about that! Glad it was worth it, though.
