A Visit With Santa

This year we decided to go to the Bass Pro Shop to get Claire's picture taken with Santa. We thought we would leave the crazy mall scene behind. All day long Claire had been saying she wanted to see Santa so that she could tell him what she wanted for Christmas. She was so excited and so were we since last year she wanted no part of sitting on Santa's lap after we had waited in line for an hour. When we got there we only had to wait 5 minutes to see him. We thought - this is Great! We need to come here next year for sure! So Rob walked her up there while I waited with camera in hand to capture the moment - they said I could take my own pictures as long as they got their shot first. I thought these were going to be the best Santa pictures ever! Little did I know that the second Rob walked away and Claire took a look at Santa she pretty much lost it. They took a picture of her crying on Santa's lap and that is the memory we have for this year - along with the following pictures. We thought we would give her a little time to get use to Santa and then take her back. So the following are Santa visit part 2.

This is our second attempt to get Claire to sit on Santa's lap. We thought if she took something up there with her she would sit on his lap...

This is as close as we could get Claire to see the "Big Guy". He was a really nice Santa and tried really hard but Claire said - I don't want to sit on Santa's lap. So we stood next to him and she told him what she wanted.
I guess there's always next year!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year To All!!

New Stuff In The Yard

This year we had to buy some new lights for the house so we decided to get a few new things for the yard too. Claire loves the light trees but the next few pictures are of her favorite thing. Claire saw this thing at Walgreens and she told me that "She Had To Have It!"

Teletubbies In The Kitchen

Claire loves her new kitchen. Sometimes she needs helpers, so she brings in the Teletubbies. She is also a multi-tasker. Her doctor stuff is always near by just in case there is an emergency!
