We just did our annual visit with Santa Claus and the reaction from the girls was anything but disappointing. Hallie has been practicing for literally months what to tell Santa she wants for Christmas. So when the big moment came she sat on his lap and went more than blank, she went silly. She started talking like Harper (baba dada googoo gaga), Santa was laughing graciously, but I'm pretty sure everyone that was watching was assuming that she was not all there. Meanwhile I am kneeling beside her trying to coax her to relax and speak English, at the same time I'm getting fussed at by the camera guy who HAD to take the picture right then (even though there were no other kids waiting to see Santa). It's a good thing he did or otherwise I wouldn't have captured this Kodak moment.
Heaven forbid he give me a second to try to make my child smile. Next was Harpers turn and like most others her age, she screamed the second she got near him leading to yet another Kodak moment.
Last was Grandma's sweet dog Presly, who tried to jump off his lap immediately, which is surprising because she loves everyone. If nothing else this visit made for a good memory and I will cherish the pictures forever.
