So Hailey has been waiting to see Santa and ask him for a FurReal dog. She was unsure of her final choice this fall when she had to chance to meet him during his recovery at his vacation house...yes, mommy was his therapist and rehabed him back to good health so he could return to the North Pole!
So, this evening I took the girls to see the new & improved Santa at Vally View Mall. I knew Lindsey would either LOVE sitting on Santa's lap w/ her big sister, or absolutely HATE it.... Can you guess? Yep, choice #2...the claw marks in my arms speak louder than words!
The line wasn't long, but Hailey still took up about 5 other kids time with her long list of "things to tell Santa."
She began with #1 ~ what I want for Christmas: She told him all about this dog that walks & barks...BUT ISN'T REAL! I think Santa was a bit confused, but shook his head anyway and told her, "no promises, but if you're a good little girl & obey your mommy & daddy maybe your dog will be under your tree Christmas morning. Then...Hailey wasn't finished with her list, explained that Lindsey was too little to tell him what she wanted, so Hailey would HAVE to explain. She told him, "Lindsey wants the snow to come, daddy wants a magazine & mommy wants a clean white sink." WHAT?! ...a clean white sink? I think my cleaning habits must be rubbing off...!
So it was time for the picture and once again, I attempted to sit Lindsey on Santa's lap...not gonna happen! So, the generous Santa, let mommy sit on his "good knee" and hold Miss Lindsey...who thought the camera lady was...ummm, interesting, but apparently NOT funny! Ringing bells & squeezing squeaky toys...no smile from Lindsey, just a look of, "that lady is crazy!"...
