Santa Clause came early?

Santa Clause came to visit us early this year.  Not only did he come early, but he came in a much different way than I hear about in Christmas songs.  Mommy says Santa upgraded his ride to keep up with technology.  Well, I guess he's not totally keeping up with technology, but when he came to visit me yesterday he arrived in a helicopter.  Our friends Eric (who is a CHP - California Highway Patrol officer), Jennifer and Brody invited us to the CHP office to meet Santa early.  It was really fun to wave at Santa while he circled in the air and then landed in the helicopter.  When it was my turn I sat on Santa's lap and told him I wanted a "choo-choo" for Christmas.  He gave me my first candy cane and also a present with my name on it!  I was really surprised he knew my name!  (shhh....this is mom....we pre-wrapped a gift for him to recieve from Santa! ha!)  Here are some fun pictures from the event:

Oh, and mommy let me eat my first candy cane when we got home. Yum! See my sticky fingers?!
