Guess who we saw at Smith's...

SANTA CLAUS!!!

I'm still trippin! For real! Ha! When do you run into the man himself while shopping for eggs and milk! Bella about fell out of her car/cart (because of course we can't shop without the car/cart) and Nate and I about died too. I think everyone in the store was doing double - no - triple takes as he and his little helper walked up and down the isles filling their cart with food. Ha ha.

He had a FULL LONG WHITE BEARD, red pants, a red shirt, CHRISTMAS suspenders, and an old cane that had Santa and the reindeer carved on it. He was such a cute little old man. So - I know you are all wondering - did we follow him? OH YES...we totally stalked him. Ha ha. We maybe kind of purposefully went down isles that we might not have gone down just to run into him again. It was so cute - Bella's eyes would get wide with wonder every time we passed! Ha ha.

When we were finished with our shopping we checked out and walked to our car. Still laughing and talking about how we totally just ran into Santa - Nate and I stopped short because we ran right into - Santa's CAR! Ha ha. A red little ride with the licence plate "O SANTA." So funny! As we got in the car I realized that I had my camera - and Santa just happened to be walking out of the store at that moment (or maybe we waited AWHILE for him to come out and I did my first paparazzi gig!) Ha ha.

All-in-all it was quite a fun and exciting trip to Smith's. And I have to say - it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

{If you look close (I wish I had had my zoom lens with me) you can see his licence plate his Christmas-themed reusable grocery bags. Love it!}
