A Visit to Santa Claus

This year Reese has been very interested in Santa Claus. I think she learned more about him at school because she came home talking about Santa. She was very excited to go and visit him. I kept promising her we would go, but we had to postpone twice before we finally made it. The first time on a Friday, I had to take Lane to the doctor instead of taking them to see Santa. Reese was very nice when I told her we would go another time. Then that Sunday we went but the line was way too long and we were all hungry for lunch. Finally, on Monday at 9:30 a.m. Reese, Lane and I made it to Memorial City Mall to see Santa Claus! It was well worth the wait as he was a very good Santa and it only took 20 minutes in line to see him.

Reese waited patiently although she wanted to jump ahead in line. I told her we had to wait our turn.


She was not afraid by any means. I was so proud of her! She and Lane sat in Santa's lap so well. Reese told Santa she wanted a Dora Doll House.

After all the anticipation, she was a little shy, but just so cute sitting with Santa.

I got her to give me a goofy smile.

And the pros got her to give me a wonderful smile (which I got to take home with me on a USB drive for only $35). Lane looks so sweet too!

We can't wait for your visit this year Santa! We'll be at GiGi's - not the rent house!

Oh and one more thing to note - Reese didn't give me any trouble getting dressed to see Santa. She wore her pretty snowflake sweater and skinny black jeans, but before we even left the mall she said, "I want to change clothes Mom." So we headed home and put on her comfy cotton pants and a t-shirt. ;) She is her father's daugher!
