Santa 2011

Last Saturday, we went to Breakfast and Bounce with Santa at Brandy’s church. I had been talking up Santa a lot, and Helen Grace seemed excited to see him. {The way she says Santa is hilarious- rhymes with Fanta, the soft drink.} Santa arrived and ate breakfast at our table, so she would take a break from the jumpy and come stare at him and then go back to bouncing. When it came time to sit in his lap, she was the first in line because she realized he had a present for her (each child received a gift from Santa)…but then she balked and headed back to the jumpy. I let the line die down and gave it another try. Again, she was willing to watch other kids, but when it was our turn, she clung to me and wouldn’t even look at him. BUT when she noticed he was leaving at the end, she freaked out. We both went running across the church to try to stop him, and when we caught him, she went right up to him, hugged him, and talked to him for a few minutes. Whew! So glad that I was able to snap a pic with her and Santa in the same frame!
