The Real SANTA

Lindsay is totally convinced that we have seen the real Santa. We were sitting at Taco Bell a couple of weeks ago with my mom and sisters. This old guy was sitting at the other table. Of course Cooper kept looking over and talking to him. When he got up and left, he stopped by our table and said hi to Lindsay then gave her a wallet sized picture and walked out. It was the guy(who did have a white beard) dressed up in his red suit. Lindsay's eyes got so big. We told her that it must be Santa. He was dressed in normal clothes because if the kids knew it was Santa they would be on their best behavior and he wants to see how kids really act. It worked like a charm. She could not wait to tell Daisy when she got home from school. We also saw him outside a grocery store. (fat guy with a white beard and a red long sleeve shirt with suspenders) Then this guy came to tune our new piano and he had a white beard and glasses. Lindsay said when she walked down the stairs he looked up and smiled at her.
So the moral of the story: Any fat guy that has a white beard and somewhat resembles Santa- tell your kids that is the REAL SANTA and he's watching. It' s worked like a charm for us!
