Santa Claus!!

We took the kids to see Santa this Wednesday at Lexington Green. Brody has not sat with Santa since he was 17 months old (Raegan's age). He just has never been into sitting with some strange looking man he doesn't know! But, this year he was all about it! He went right up and sat with him. He told him what he wanted and enjoyed himself. I was so proud of him. Raegan, on the other hand, was not into Santa. She saw him from afar and exclaimed "Nana, Nana..." over and over again. But, the closer we got to him, the tighter her grip on me got. I tried to put her down next to Brody on his lap, but she refused to let go. She was yelling "Mommy, Mommy....Daddy, Daddy!" So, I figured I wouldn't make her go through with it. But, the people there were really nice and let Brody and Raegan sit in the chair with a Santa book. They then took Santa's picture on his own peeking over the chair, and through the magic of picture editing....VOILA! We ended up with a really cute picture of Santa peeking over the kids. I really love the picture, the kids' expressions are great. We will cherish it for years to come. 8 more days until Christmas!!
