Visit with Santa in Downtown Apex

Jack and I had a jolly good time seeing Santa today at the Rusty Bucket, a shop in downtown Apex. When we arrived to the shop Santa was running a little behind, so we killed some time "playing" checkers out front. Once the big man with the beard arrived, I was surprised by how much time he spent with Jack. He read him a story and almost rocked him to sleep! It was such a precious sight. I have to admit it felt nice to be able to avoid the long lines at the mall all together (and I'm sure it helped us to avoid a meltdown, which I was fully expecting!) Jack, you were a sport my sweet boy! One week til Christmas. Very exciting times!

Could it be Santa?
