Third Time with Santa

The first year was a breeze. Josie was a couple months old and slept through the whole thing. Last year wasn't as good, Boompa dressed up as Santa and Josie wasn't a huge fan.

This year we showed up right as Santa was leaving for dinner. So we made a quick detour to Toys R Us and returned to a lengthy line. The next hour and a half went very well. We snacked on Chik-fil-A, gave Belle a bottle, and watched the kid in front of us hit the girl behind us. When we got to the front of the line, one of the elves performed some simple illusions and then it was our turn. Things started off good with a high five to the big guy. Then things went south when Josie realized she would have to sit with the big, bearded man. Even with Mama, Josie wasn't having it. Finally, after a surprise Elmo appearance, things calmed down. The people were nice enough to allow us to have both pictures.
