Wednesday December 5

Wednesday was a fairly slow day.  We started with a bang though - this group of 40 people thought they had an 8:30am appointment to see Santa.  They did not.  Santa doesn't start seeing people until 9am.  But they were all here, so we closed down the maze to everyone, had Santa join them in the maze, took a photo with all forty of them, and then Santa went back on his way.  We had to take the photo in the maze because 40 people will not fit in a house.

Jim, one of the Macy's managers, brought his son in to see Santa. His son is a cutie-pie.

This is Shortcake with the red phone.  It doesn't ring very often, but when it does, Shortcake likes to pretend it's President Obama calling for Santa.  Usually, Santa can't take the call right away 'cause he's busy.  So Shortcake just reassures the president that, yes, we did Malia and Sasha's Christmas lists.

ALSO, a correction.  Spatula's teddy bear is named Frederick Walter Francis II.
