Santa's Lap

We went to the mall after Libby's nap today to see Santa! We had our letters in decorated envelopes to give him. Mom said we could sit on his lap and take a picture. We put on our pretty dresses and walked up the aisle to see him bursting with excitement.

Then the "elf" informed us that Santa was taking a "milk and cookie break" and they weren't letting anyone else in line, but to come back in an hour. I was really sad, but Mom said we could play at Pottery Barn Kids and go eat chicken fingers for dinner so I got happy again.

But when we got back to Santa there were a lot of other kids in line so we had to wait FOREVER! We finally made it to Santa. He opened my letter and read it and then he opened Libby's letter (we were all surprised she even walked up to Santa with her letter since she kept saying "No Santa") and told her he liked Elmo and Cookie Monster too. She smiled.

Then it was time for the picture....well, let's just say Libby stopped smiling. I enjoyed every minute especially my candy cane at the end. Maybe next year Libby will realize that Santa isn't so scary.
