Santa Claus is coming to town

We worked on it for two days.

Me: Addison, do you want to go see Santa?
Addison: Yeah
M: Are you going to sit on his lap?
A: Yeah
M: Are you going to give him a kiss?
A: Yeah. Hug him.
M: Santa will like that.

And this is what we got. Notice the arched back move. She still pulls that out for important moments. At the end we were able to get her to give him a high five for the candy cane.


This was as close as we could get to Santa, even if he wasn't real. The funny thing...they had a guy walking around in a Koala suit and she was all about him. She walked right up to him and gave him a high five, but she's afraid of Santa. So much to learn.

The Santa meet & greet was held at Ace Hardware and sponsored by the Fire Department. They had a truck there that they let the kids climb around in, a bunch of activites and crafts, food and a kid's dance group. This was the highlight of the morning for Addison. She could not take her eyes of those kids. She would clap after every song and then demand more. Maybe we have a future dancer on our hands. It turned out to be a fun Saturday morning.



I took the new camera with me. I stil have no idea how to use it so these were all taken on the auto setting, but it sure was fun. Hopefully I'll have some time to learn a few things over the holidays.
