I'm sure there has never been two more excited boys to have Christmas come than Chase and Nolan. The night the Christmas tree was decorated, Chase turned to Jess and said, "O.K mommy, tomorrow Santa Claus comes." Unfortunately the tree was put up on November 30th.The greatest thing about being a parent is seeing the excitement of a small child and the wonder of Christmas as you share stories, read books, and watch Christmas movies. However, maybe even better than that is a tactic I like to call "Don't make me call Santa!"
Whenever Chase or Nolan gets out of hand, we threaten to get on the phone and call Santa. The other night Chase refused to eat his dinner. After a quick call to Santa, (aka Hank Sr.-whose cleverly disguised voice was as funny as it was convincing ) made Chase sit straight up in his chair and completely finish his dinner after Santa threatened to take away all his presents.
So to all those parents out there consider this as our Christmas gift to you...Use the Santa Tactic whenever needed.
PS-You'll need to find your own Santa...Shortly after posting this, Hank Sr. was flooded with over 30 calls an hour wanting the voice of Santa to repremand their children.

Um Jess,
Picturing the expression on your face while saying "Don't make me call Santa" has me laughing outloud at the computer screen.

Hey Jess!
We got your cute Christmas card. I'm so glad that you put your blog address so we can see how you guys are doing:)
Cute pictures and stories. I was feeling bad about using threatenings of Santa not bringing presents, but I feel better now.
Latest news for us: We're having our 3rd boy in April and we're going to USC dental school. (Yes, we're making it back to California. I never thought it would happen).
Our email address is taylorandsara@gmail.com -- if you send us your email, then I can invite you to see our blog, as well.
Good luck with everything and have a great Christmas!!

Can we call you Hank when we need to use that tactic? I don't think christian really understands who Santa is yet. Does Nolan understand?
