Well my love after weeks of preparation the day finally arrived, you were going to see Santa!!! Now Mommy has been showing you pictures of Santa on the TV, on ornaments, on lawn decorations, in books everywhere there was a Santa so you would feel comfortable with the big jolly fellow and you have been very receptive! You point out Santa and say "Ho Ho Ho" all over place, so Mommy was thinking that this whole picture with Santa might just be a success...not so much my love! This morning as Mommy was changing your diaper I told you we were going to see Santa today and you clapped and said "Ho Ho Ho" and Mommy was feeling oh so optimistic! Mimi and Mommy arrived at the mall at 9:58 convinced we would be the first to see Santa at 10:00, you were looking so very cute in all your Christmas smocked glory and saddle oxfords just a smiling and waving at people. Low and behold there were two kids in front of us but you were still happy happy happy just working the crowd! Then the little boy in front of us sees Santa and promptly burst into tears, at this point you just looked at us as if to say: wait a minute now what is going on?? We went up to Santa (the same Santa from last year! I was hoping you would remember your positive previous meeting...not so much) and you just started to wave your arms vigorously in your "no no no" pattern! Well Mommy went ahead and put you on a stranger's lap and this is the photo result:
No tears, but just a look of sheer horror!! It's a picture we will never forget my love!! Thankfully you recovered nicely and proceeded to stroll around the mall like you owned the place! You walk just like your Daddy!!
All in all a very fun Christmas outing!!
