Santa Baby!

| November 18, 2011

Today I had a bunch of errands to run at the mall so off Sam and I went.  The whole mall was decked out in Christmas splendor, but we were there really early so Santa wasn’t there yet.  Sam did enjoy all the decorations and the 5 foot tall toy soldiers got some hugs!  I didn’t think Sam would get to see the jolly guy, but right before we left, Santa came!  Sam was so excited.  I brought her over to say hello since no one else was waiting, and she sat right on his chair and gave him a lot of shy smiles. She wouldn’t tell him what she wanted for Christmas, but I filled him in on what toys she wanted and assured him that she had been a really good girl this year.  I told her that we would come back again when she had her pretty Christmas clothes on and take a picture and she seemed to like that idea.  Sam has been telling us that she wants Santa to bring her an orange snake, a car, and an apron, so that is what I told him. Right before we left Santa asked Sam if he could have a hug and she gave him a nice sort of sideways hug and put her head on his shoulder.  No tears like last year, so this year’s picture hopefully will be great!
