Last year we waited until the week before Christmas to take the kids to sit on Santa's lap; we waited close to 2 hours. I was not about to let that happen again this year. So, I was happy to wait in the 30 mintue line today. This was the first year Allie was excited to see Santa. But like the past 3 years, shyed away once she was pushed Santa's way. Lucky for her, we brought her "Dear Santa" list and she didn't have to talk much.
As for Gabe, we were next in line, when he looked up at me with teary eyes and his bottom lip puckered out. I was surprised he was nervous. He never cried, but just sat there in Santa's lap with his fingers super glued to his mouth. Same with Allie. What is it with my kids and their hands-in-mouth complex? Everytime they get nervous they can't keep their hands out of their mouths.
I'm a list person, and I like checking things off my to-do list. Santa's lap - check. Sending out Christmas cards...........let's go ahead and check that off to. If your reading this, consider this your Christmas card. I'm not sending any out this year (except for immediate family and I ordered the Santa photo cards from our Santa lap session....it's not great, so you aren't missing out on much).
Did any of you Greenvillians notice our new mall Santa this year? I liked the old one better....he will always have a special place in my heart....for Allie peed on his leg two years ago.

Merry Christmas, I hope we are on the short list of cards this year. If you need our new adress let me know
Oh Lord they are so cute! Maddy does the exact same thing with her fingers in her mouth...even at (almost) 7! Crazy! When we took her on Splash Mountain at DW last year, she was terrified of riding anything else. I remember standing in line to ride none other than Winnie the Pooh, and she was almost chewing her fingers off she was so nervous. LOL!
So very good Bethany...color, lighting, depth...all of it. We need to talk shop soon. Maybe over Christmas we can get together.
