We've been to see Santa a couple of times now, but still unsuccessful in actually talking to him. Ava might even talk to him this year; she saw another little girl sit on his knee + that's all she could talk about tonight. I really want to get a picture of Livi with the big guy, especially since it's her first Christmas. Last week we went to story time with Santa, with Melanie + Kiley, but didn't stay for pictures. We just cruised the mall with the girls, it was good therapy; it was just nice to get out of the house. And the girls were really good! Here is Kiley + Ava messing around:
So today I went back, in hopes of getting at least one picture with one little girl on Santa's knee. No dice. They said we probably wouldn't get to see him until after 5:30 in the evening...are you kidding!! I can hardly make dinner without a meltdown, let alone round up two little girls, dressed up, and get them to behave in line around that time of night. I'm shooting for Thursday now. Livi has also just sprouted two teeth in the last week and a half, and I can see numbers 3 + 4 coming; she may also have a cold...damn those rectal thermometers though, I can't get a good reading. So it's probably bad timing to take her to Santa anyway...but I'm not giving up yet.
However we did stop to see the miniature train display at the mall. Just a little walk around tour, but Ava was so excited. Livi even got to enjoy some down at her level.
