Santa Visit

Yesterday we made our annual trip to Annapolis Mall to see Santa.  The girls were pretty excited this year; we had been talking about visiting Santa for a little over a week.  We were trying to reduce the fear, and answer questions about him and basically prepare ourselves for what reaction we might get.  I asked the girls what they were going to tell Santa they wanted for Christmas, to which both of them screamed "PRESENTS!"  After I stopped laughing, I said, "Yes, but what kind of presents", to which they stated "Blue presents"!  I probed further and asked, "OK, what kind of blue presents" and finally was told a blue teddy bear.  Upon revealing their desire, Lexi switched to red, a red teddy bear.  So when it was time to tell Santa what they wanted, they explained they wanted blue and red teddy bears, and then proceeded to stand there and not move.  They were expecting him to give them a teddy bear right then and there.  He had to explain that they had to way until he came to their house on Christmas Eve and deliver the gifts to all the good girls and boys.  The responded with "I don't want to wait". Ahhh to be a kid, with no filter.

It was a visit filled with many moments that made us laugh, and it ended with what we think is their best Santa photo yet!  Happy Holidays everyone!  We hope you are all enjoying this time of year and spending lots of time with the ones you love!
