Santa Clause is coming to town

Today the monkeys got to meet Santa. Garrett wanted to make a run for it at first. We got him to chill out by letting him sit on a stool insead of Santa's lap. Fine with me. He doesn't quite understand the Santa concept yet, so I'm glad to see he has a natural wariness around creepy old dudes.

Madelyn was thrilled. For the thousandth time she made it abundantly clear that an Easy Bake oven is her heart's desire. More than any gift in the world, I am looking forward to seeing her face when she opens that gift on Christmas morning. The camera will definitely be rolling.

Jonathan was unimpressed.
