Santa Baby

We went to visit Santa at the mall tonight. We have been talking to Blake about Santa, and how nice he is, and his red suit, and soft beard... trying to get her acclimated to him in preparation to seeing him this year. She has been playing with stuffed Santa decorations and knows "aunt-na" when she sees any image of him. (Funny how Santa and Santiago kind of have the same name in Blake's language! ha ha)

Blake did pretty well with Santa! No big crying or screaming this year. She did cry when we got there because she had her daddoo with her and I took it away as we were walking up to him. She settled down pretty quickly, and we both went over to sit on the arm of his big chair. I sat talking to Santa for a little bit, and then I moved away and left Blake with him. This is the best of the few pictures they snapped, but all in all, I'd consider the visit a success!
