Your first encounter with Santa...

Well these aren't your professional Santa pictures (we'll take those in December sometime), but here's your first encounter with the strange guy.

We went to Allen on Saturday night for the Christmas tree lighting and Santa's arrival. It was absolutely insane there! I just laughed and told Grandma & Grandpa there was no way I was waiting in that line, so you could see Santa. You are too young to know who he is, so I thought we should grab dinner and do this another night. We get back in the car, drive around the parking lot to park by Nates, and sure enough Santa is hanging out by the firetruck he's going to drive in on. Grandma jumps out of the car and runs over to him - asking if he'd take a picture with you since there are so many people waiting for him on the other side. He was a very nice Santa and said of course!

There's so much dead space in the picture, but I had to include it. I love it because you and Grandpa were walking up to the area where everyone was waiting for Santa. You would look at all the people and then look back at me and Grandma. It was as if you were trying to warn us that what was ahead was just way too much for you to handle...haha!

You and Grandpa - all bundled up!

Here you are trying to figure out exactly who this guy is walking up to you...

Here you are with Grandma & Grandpa. You can tell you're wondering who in the heck that strange looking guy is...

When we first walked up I told Grandpa to hand you over to Santa. Santa said "I wouldn't do that. She's going to scream." So we took a picture of the 4 of you. I really wanted one of you and Santa though, so at the end I told Grandpa to hold you over. He barely had his hands off of you for 1 second and you just totally lost it. You wanted absolutely nothing to do with Santa! NOTHING!
