Meeting with Santa

I wasn't sure how this meeting would go. Last year the closest she would get to Santa was on the bottom step of 2 steps up to Santa's chair on her Daddy's lap. That was last year's picture. So this year we decided we had better not spend the money for a picture with Santa and instead try out the free one at Bass Pro Shop. She had a great time with the crafts, their decorations, and the other toys they had there to play with. I was not expecting it to be as crowded as it was. Geez. We could hardly find a parking spot. But all 3 of us had a GREAT time together.

Waiting for her turn to make a craft
Gluing on the eyes
The finished product!
Loving the snowman Really loving Santa's "reindeer"
It's good to see all that military training put to good use with the Red Rider BB gun
Sophia getting in on the action
Taking a quick break for some cookies.
Getting excited to see the big man
Remember how I said she wouldn't get close to Santa last year? What a difference a year makes. She walked right down that red carpet like she was born to do it!
She wouldn't tell us what she told Santa but they seemed to have a great conversation.
Enjoying her first candy cane. What a mess!
On the way out she found something else she might want for Christmas.
