Annie & Her Pal Santa

"I gotta list Santa, time to talk business" 

So Aaron and I talked about taking Annie to see Santa but didn't know what kind of experience we would be in for.  Since our little Annie can be quite the fussy child, we decided to see how the day goes and if she was having a good day, we'd give Santa a try.  She had a good day of naps and seemed to be pretty happy and in good spirits all day so we thought, let's do this!  Going early in the holiday season paid off and we lucked out with no line on a Saturday night.  And Annie did terrific!  She sat on his lap for a good few minutes, long enough to get some great pictures.  I'm so glad we took her.  I was just waiting for her to grab Santa's beard but she was very well behaved and just starred with intrigue.  The picture above made the trip all worth it! 

And since there was no line, we snapped a few real quick ones together, not the best pics but in efforts of being speedy we got a few.  Thank goodness this all worked out, we dressed in our Christmas colors and really didn't want to have to go back to do a re-do with Santa.

"I hear you loud and clear Santa, I will be extra good the rest of the month... and leave you some cookies." 

And this is how we knew it was time to go.
