A couple of weeks ago we were at Chili's for dinner. Scott dropped the kids and me off to get out of the rain while he parked the car. While we were waiting out in the vestibule a gentleman with a full white beard and curly hair came in. He was wearing a red t-shirt and gold rimmed glasses. He said, "Oh, the kids have to wait outside?" like he was sad for them. I thought, you know, dressed like that, he's asking for trouble. I replied, "Well, they've been really naughty." The man went inside then popped his head out quickly and whispered loudly to me, "No Mom, actually they have been trying really hard this year!" and went back in. Emmie and Clay were bug-eyed and gasping with their hands covering their gaping mouths. Emmie said, "I can't believe we actually saw him!" The best part of this story is the wonderful pleasant dinner we were able to enjoy this night. The kids could not have been better behaved. Eating dinner in the same restaurant as Santa while he was off duty was the best thing that could have happened to the kids (or the parents!) By-the-way, the Big Mouth Bites at Chili's are pretty awesome! I don't know what Santa would recommend.
