Santa at the Library

This morning my little girls and I went on a grand adventure to Story Time at the local library. In addition to listening to fun Santa stories, singing great holiday tunes, and making an adorable reindeer tree ornament, we had a visitor from The North Pole: one Kris Kringle!

Mackenna was thrilled to see him. "Hi, Santa! Hi, Santa! Hi!" (with vigorous waving). Marlee, in true form, squeezed my hand until it was bloodless and buried her face in my armpit. When it came time to get a snapshot with The Jolly Elf, Mackenna got afraid. So, we have this photo of all three of us with Santa Claus:


To be fair, by the time we left, Mackenna had conquered her short-lived fear of Santa. "Bye, Santa! Bye, Santa! Bye!" she called to him and even gave him a high-five on her way out the door.

Yes, thank you for visiting Santa on your own so you won't be mad at us for NOT having santa at the ward Christmas party like some people are. It looks like it was a good experience overall.

I think you and your Maia look a lot alike when you wear glasses. My Anna wouldn't even approach Santa. Her loss, I guess!

what a good mom. we went to the library this week, but i forgot to sign up for the santa thing and samuel was too tired to fight with through a story time, so i had to drag jared out of the library crying instead of seeing santa. fun times. :)
