Meeting Santa 2011

Well folks, here it is, the best photo we were able to get with Santa. After a week of excitement and anticipation, Lia was all ready to meet Santa last night and even had a list of questions prepared to ask him (What kind of cookies does he like and does Rudolph want big or little carrots.) When we got there, she couldn't wait for it to be her turn. Then, as soon as she got in his lap, she promptly began to boo hoo! Santa was very patient (although he does look a bit perplexed in the photo) and tried to calm her down to no avail. Finally, I came and picked her up and through tears, she first asked for a kleenex then told me that I needed to tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas (an easel) and she was ready to go home. Oh well, it will be a funny keepsake for years to come : )
