It's not every child who can say their Granddad is Santa Claus, *ahem* plays Santa Claus at the mall.  We certainly had a unique opportunity this weekend to get a personal encounter with the "Bearded Man" himself.  Here's our weekend in a few pictures:

Day Trip to Greensboro

I have been dying to go to the Greensboro Children's Museum since we discovered it online a few weeks ago. We finally went this morning to let Elijah play!

It was pretty fun and great to see everything, but I think we did take Elijah a little prematurely. Even so, he had a great time. It was just funny for me to watch him gravitate toward what he knows. In the toddler area, Elijah just wanted to play with the blocks (which is his love in life right now) even though there were tons of awesome things to climb on and see.

He did decide to get up and test out some things after he watched a girl jump like crazy on this...

He probably would have just stayed there all day, playing with blocks, even though there was an airplane, a train, and a firetruck to explore.  We had to practically drag him away so we could help him experience the other stuff.  And when we did...

He still played with the "kid size" firetruck...

when the real truck was just a few steps away!

He still stood by the table with the trains...

...taking forever to notice the big train right beside him!

...But he was wiped out after less than 2 hours.  It really was fun to watch him play and I look forward to going back when Elijah's a little older.
