Brisco was not too impressed with Santa this time around. Hopefully next time will be better!
We went to visit the Santa at the Somerset Collection. When we arrived, they told us Santa was completely booked for the entire evening!
Mommy nearly burst into tears. "But it's my baby's 1st Christmas," she blubbered. A very kind elf heard Mommy's cries, and told us that we could see Santa if we promised to be quick. We didn't even have to wait in line. We were going to be next!
Judging by these pictures, you can tell we were very quick!
Brisco didn't get a chance to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas because he was so hysterical. It's a good thing Santa already knows!
Santa was a great sport about it, and he told Brisco that he likes their matching hats!
Elf on the Shelf
I'm certain everyone knows what an Elf on the Shelf is by now. They are so popular this year. Our elf came in the mail all the way from Searcy, Arkansas (Our thanks to the House Family!). After searching for elf names on the internet, we learned that "Brisco Rainbolt" translates to "Nipper Floppy-Feet" in Christmas Elf Language. We've been calling our elf "Nipper" for short.
Nipper has been very busy at our house. He's supposed to stay on the mantel near the Christmas tree, but we've found him all over the house. For some reason, Nipper especially loves to torment Aunt Katie! Nipper has been in her tea pot, her lunch bag, and her nightstand. One day, Aunt Katie turned on her computer, and this picture was her screen saver! Aunt Katie is a little afraid of clowns, so she doesn't really like Nipper's rosey cheeks and pointy hat. Daddy thinks it is very funny. It seems to me that Aunt Katie and Daddy are enjoying Nipper Floppy-Feet this year, even more than Brisco Clay. Maybe next year Brisco will be more into it. Aunt Katie and Daddy better watch out, though, Nipper's reporting to Santa every night!
