Waiting for Santa

I took the girls tonight to have a visit with Santa. Surprisingly it was not crazy busy and we only waited in line about 20 mins {15 of which Santa was having supper}. The girls were very patient and well behaved. Actually when we walked though the mall everyone was looking and smiling at us. Of course the girls were cute all dressed up but they were walking so obediently one on each side of the stroller hanging on. It was a proud Momma moment for sure.

Lilly was the first to approach Santa and I was unable to get a picture because Abigail was standing her distance and I needed to coax her a little closer. She decided Santa was a nice man who was okay to talk to but there was no way on earth she was going to let him touch her. No way! LOL Tessa also was not having it, so Santa gave up his chair so the girls could have a seat and he stretched his legs for a little bit. My picture is kind of rushed and not planned out at all. I didn't have much time to snap it. I am much happier with the one we bought which is more centered and Abigail has a huge smile on her face. So after the picture Santa came back and Lilly climbed back into his lap for a chat. Abigail wouldn't even let Santa help her out of the chair. There is something about a man in a red suit that she is weary about {or maybe it's the beard or the fact that he is Santa -- who knows?}. It was super cute though. Maybe next year she will sit on his knee. Before we left the house she had it in her head she was gonna give him a big kiss. Guess time changes things :)

Maybe next year? We must have just missed you because we were at the mall at the same time and walked by Santa's place. I'm glad you didn't have to wait too long.

What a great Santa! :-)

I love your kiddos - they are too cute and just have the biggest gorgeous brown eyes :-) and I'm glad they were all not too scared of Santa -- Jay refuses to sit with him!
