Santa's beard was real- amazing, huh? Â I was surprised, and concerned before we got there that Jesse would think it was toy stuffing and take off with it, but he didn't even try. Â When we first got there, Santa was in a panic- trying to figure out how to nicely let us know those dogs were NOT sitting on his lap! The ones they had done just before we arrived were a pug and a mini doxie, so having mine walk in was a shock to all of them. Â Once Santa met the monsters, he was totally in love with them, so that worked out well. I am pretty sure everybody involved will be talking about it for a while!
