We went and had cookies with Santa yesterday. It took a few minutes to convince E that she wanted to sit on Santa's lap...and I don't know that she ever told him what she wanted for Christmas. However, she did tell him that Jut was getting ready for youth group and couldn't make it to say hi.
However, after a few cookies, chocolate covered pretzels and crafts, she warmed right up to him. She found a tub of costumes and had decided to be an elf. She loved her elf hat and boots. Showing them to Santa was a must!
Later, E found a Santa hat and decided that she was Santa. She went around to all the other elementary aged girls that were wearing reindeer antler headbands and told them that they were her reindeer and needed to pull her sleigh. They all obliged her imagination...so she had a little passel of reindeer running in front of her. Crazy girl. They weren't even girls that she knows...it was funny. The one little girl came up and told me all about it b/c I missed it as I was changing X's diaper at the time.
X, however, did NOT warm up to Santa at all. This is an action shot of him running away from the scary, hairy man in the shades, red suit and hat. If we walked too far to that side of the gym, the poor guy would get all distressed. X was having none of that Santa business.
X did however like the penguins. He was mesmerized by the lights and movement the entire time E was visiting Santa and making her crafts. Penguins were much better than Santa!
