Santa Baby

We took Landry to see Santa with the knowing that she probably wasn’t going to feel warm fuzzies from the bearded man!  Where we went had a “toy shop” with rocking horses, train & village, crayons & colorings pages.  Santa & Mrs. Claus took their time with each child while the ones waiting played all around them.  Landry had no problems until an Elf called “Landry”.  She immediately said “no” & started to get upset.  We walked over to see Santa & she was stuck to me like we were both wearing Velcro.  Santa was clever & found his way into the picture with out her knowing, no need for a crying classic picture!  Mrs. Claus was the preferred choice & she did tell her what she wanted…”a hat, a baseball hat”.  I’m sure she’ll put in a good word! 

Time to decorate!

We got Landry a tree for her room this year. a pink one!  She loved helping hang the snowflakes on the big tree & did so well with leaving all the ornaments alone!  Keep up the good work, Santa is watching!

 

The problem with little hands helping is that they all end up on the same branch…LOVE IT!

This is a picture of our Christmas Card.  When we got them back from the printer, I opened to take a look, showed Landry & told her that we needed to put it on the tree.  What I meant was the “tree” card holder that hangs on our kitchen door.  She didn’t follow me & the card was gone…I assumed it was in a crumpled mess somewhere in the house.  That evening, after she went to bed, I saw this.  I thought surely Brett put in on the tree but then I remembered what I said & how little minds are so literal…she did exactly what I asked.  Sweet Girl!
