So this year seems to be the year of learning it all! She is really aware of Santa. Has heard about Elf on the Shelf and wonders why she doesn't have a personal elf. I wonder how all those other moms have time or energy to be so creative with their family visitors. She did an advent calendar this year and was so patient. She only opened one each night. I could never wait a whole 24 hours to see what was behind door number whatever the date was! Even as an adult, I found it difficult. This year, we were invited to have breakfast with Santa! And we just happened to be seated right near Santa's big entrance!
I could not believe how excited she was.
And she was so patient waiting in line to see Santa. And I know she can't wait to talk to him because all she wanted was a Barbie. Yes, she knows about her now too.
So it is finally her turn. And I practically had to beg her to go see him.
She did not ask him for a thing. She did not say a single word to him. She just put her finger in her mouth and stood there looking bashful.
And then there were lots of activities for the kids to do! They decorated sugar cookies.
You probably can't tell, but Lilly did not get enough sprinkles on her cookie. She poured some in her goodie bag... They also made hot chocolate kits and played a few games, as well. I can not explain why I have no photos though. And even better - she got to take a photo home of her visit with Santa. She took it to school for days to show all her friends and teachers. I'm sure she told great tales of her conversation with the big guy!
