Today Johnny and I took Anthony to see Santa Claus at the Christmas store in Pigeon Forge. Anthony was already prepared to tell him the one thing he wanted most, for his dog Lucy to get to see her dog mama and brothers and sisters. I got a little nervous when he said he was gonna test Santa to make sure he was the real one. He wasn't going to tell him his dogs name and see if he knew it. I tried to tell him that Santa probably wouldn't know Lucy's name and then he said he must not be real. I told him that you can tell he's the real Santa because his beard is real. He said "Then I'm gonna tug it." By the time we got to the front of the line, Anthony was wired as can be. I told him he better behave because Santa was watching. He walked right up to him and posed for pictures. He must have forgotten his plan to test Santa. Santa asked if he was good and Anthony said yes :) Then Anthony pulled two miniature snickers bars out of his pocket and asked Santa to give them to Comet. Santa asked if Comet was his favorite reindeer and if he could have one of the candy bars. Anthony smiled real big and shook his head no. Santa said ok, but at Christmas, Comets not getting any of my cookies.
