After church today, we headed to Bachman's to see Santa. We got to watch a cute skit, sing a couple songs and then get it line to sit next to Santa for a couple pics. The closer we got to actually meeting Santa, the more insistent Emilia got that she didn't want to sit with Santa. We have been practicing what to do when she meets Santa and she really had it down with me pretending to be the jolly ol' guy, but when she was faced with the real deal...she was not having it. We have learned to not push it to create a "moment" when all that moment would really be is a terrified, crying little girl. Memorable...yes...but not the kind of memory we want for her. So this year, we just let Olivia get up close to the big guy. It was so sweet. She didn't take her eyes off of him and right away gave his beard a tug. Check out the cute pics. So adorable.
