Pete took the girls to see Santa yesterday. They all saw him - Emily & Hannah sat on his lap and I think Hailey stood next to him. That's progress from last year when it took us about 8 trips to the mall before they would actually go near him. On their way home Hailey said she needed to go back to see him because she forgot to ask for an iPhone.
Today after school we came home, made lunch, hit the park for a picnic and some play time and then headed to the mall to see Santa again. Hailey was standing in front of him (there was no one in line and no one around...we just stood around Santa and had a pow wow...lol) and said "I forgot to ask for an iPhone!" as if he was deaf. Then that was followed up by Emily saying "And I want a Cat. A REAL CAT!!!" Ohhhh my goooooodnesssssss!!!!!!!!!! I interjected and said how Santa doesn't bring REAL animals and this mall Santa caught on quick and agreed.
I must say - their excitement about Santa this year is very contagious. While walking through the mall they couldn't contain themselves. The laughter and giggling and skipping and screaming...all totally worth every minute.
