Santa

So we attempted to see Santa this past Sunday at the mall. We arrived an hour early and the line was so long and Santa wasn't even there yet. So we went to get lunch and walked by afterwards to see him as we were leaving and decided a week night would be a better idea. So we went tonight and there were 4 people in front of us and I think we waited maybe 5 minutes. She just had to take Elmo with us. So I kept telling her "you should show Santa your Elmo," hoping this would help ease the transition onto Santa's lap for a quick photo. She froze in front of him and it was like she had cement shoes on. Santa spoke to her about Elmo and Ella even gave him five. I picked her up and sat her on his lap and got out of the way in hopes of a quick picture. Her bottom lip started to quiver and she was not liking it but she didn't cry. They took a couple pictures and this was the best one. The last one they took she smiled after the flash. She keeps talking about Santa - this is going to be a fun Christmas this year!!!
