We took a trip to Santa's local workshop and met my folks for dinner.
Super Cooper was easy breezy and all smiles.
H was just taking it all in ... all weekend ... I'm sure to replay in his head later. He was very talkative before his meeting with the Big Guy. He had a long babblly list of things to tell Santa, but froze when he finally made his way up there.
Holden also rode a Christmas carousel (with some coaxing) and made an ornament.
The same awestruck Holden appeared when he received an early Christmas gift. We took him to the live version of his fave show. That kid has been talking about his "special day with YGG" for MONTHS, literally since JULY! He jabbered and sang songs from the show all the way there ... all the way to his seat ... all through the pre-show tunes. But the second the show started he turned into a zombie. I don't think he blinked once.
When his fave character was introduced, his eyes welled up like he was going to cry. He didn't say a word, but his face said, "I can't believe I'm in the same room as the Little Green One."
There were many moments during the show that Jordan and I thought we had made a mistake taking him there ... worried he had been traumatized and would never ever watch his favorite show, again. May even be angry with us for making him go. When the lights came up he grinned ear-to ear and said, "I'm SO HAPPY!"
He danced, sang and bounced all the way back to the car. Jabbered for another ten minutes and passed out.
Holden has asked me several times over the last 24 hours if he can call his Mimi, or his best friend M, or his cousin S to tell them about the show.
BEST Christmas present for this little guy, ever!
