First Visit to Santa Claus

This was the first year we took Audrey to see Santa because up until this year, she was just too young to understand and we thought she would hate it. But this year, we've been reading a book about Santa all year, so she understands who Santa is and has been talking about him a lot! So on my last day of work before the holidays, Scott brought Audrey up so we could go to Crown Center to visit Santa. She loved it! There was a little playground before we got in line to see him and she had the best time. When it was her turn to see Santa, we told her to go sit on his lap and she ran right up to him and let him pick her up and put her in his lap! I was floored! I couldn't believe she wasn't scared. We may have to teach her not to talk to strangers...she's quite the little social butterfly! So she sat on Santa's lap, but she didn't tell him what she wanted (don't think she quite understands that part yet). But then Santa told her that there were four more days until he would come to her house and they counted together. Later that day, she kept talking about how she counted with Santa. Then we went over to Hallmark so Audrey could meet some of my coworkers. She had the best time!
