Santa!

Once again this year we went to "Tea with Santa." Once again Lily ate lots of cookies and enjoyed her tea (red kool-aid) in a fancy teacup. And once again Lily was pretty much terrified of Santa. Leading up to this event Lily was really excited about Santa. Her eyes would light up and she would get really excited every time she saw Santa on television or in a book. Apparently the "reality" is a bit scarier because as soon as she saw him in person I knew that there was no way she was going to go anywhere near him. She was, however, perfectly happy to visit with Mrs Claus, talk with her, and sit on her lap. She insisted that I visit with Santa (and get the candy cane he was offering for her) while she stayed safely with Mrs. Santa! Oh well, at least I got a picture of one of my children with Santa (then again he didn't have much choice since he's only one month old and was totally asleep)!:)
