Pictures with Santa



I took the girls to see Santa this morning at St. Mathew's mall. We got there at 10:00, so there was no line to wait in. Madelyn told Santa that she wanted a Sabre Tooth Tiger, a baby Sabre Tooth Tiger, & Alien mushy thing (Martian Matter Alien Maker Playset). She also told him that Ansley wants a baby doll. Santa said Sabre Tooth Tigers are scary & asked her if she'd like a baby doll! I was beginning to wonder if this was the same Santa from A Christmas Story, when he told Ralphie, "you'll shoot your eye out!" When I sat Ansley on Santa's lap she cried after a few seconds as you can see in the picture. All Santa could say about Ansley was that she's wiggly! Madelyn told Jon on the phone that Santa didn't give Ansley her baby doll. I think Madelyn thought Santa was supposed to hand out toys right then & there (makes sense to me). I had to explain to her that he will come to our house on Christmas Eve & we'll leave him cookies. When we walked past Santa for the 2nd time, Madelyn said she didn't want to sit on Santa's lap again.

Well that will be a picture to look back on! Our Madelyn is all about sitting on Santa's lap and talking to him but not Henry! Must be the age:) We were at the mall today too- suprised we didn't see you all- but we didn't get there till a little later. I am in search of boys dress shoes for Henry- any advice?
