Ho, Ho, Hmmm?

Aubrey Kate's experience with Santa was not so pleasant. The first time she saw him was at the Bass Pro Shop. She was very tired and not in the mood to make new friends. After many talks about him, I took her to the mall for a visit. As soon as she saw him, her body got stiff, the look of sheer panic came upon her face, and then she let the tears flow. We had to wait in line for about fifteen minutes, and by that time she had calmed down (or so I thought). I told the picture lady to snap the pic just as soon as I sat her in his lap. This is the result. I'm sure he still has bruises on his legs from all the kicking. Santa sure is a good sport. The funny thing is though, when we are not around him, he is all she talks about. Throughout the day, she will frequently say "sit in Anna Cause's ap" (aka: sit in Santa Clause's lap). Oh well, maybe better luck next year! Merry Christmas!
