Santa Visit

We headed to the mall midday to see Santa and hoped we would get back home before the snow storm hit. When we got there, we lucked out again cuz there were no kids in line to see Santa! We quickly tried to get Josey's jacket and hat off so she could go get her picture taken. Just as we were getting her coat put away, here came Santa and asked for a hug! Josey being the super little cuddler was happy to fulfill his wish. I can't believe she's not afraid of him! Most little kids wouldn't even go near him and some would only sit on his lap if one of their parents were near.
We didn't get a smile while on Santa's lap but that is okay. She didn't scream her head off so that was a plus. We took a few pictures and then Santa asked Josey what she wanted for Christmas...

I said, "Elmo." Then Santa asked Josey if Elmo was what she wanted for Christmas and she gave him a look like "YOU KNOW ELMO TOO!" That was the only time she would look at Santa while on his lap :)

As we were finishing up, one of Santa's helper asked, "Are you pregnant?" I nodded and they quickly said they had to do a "Baby's first list" picture. Santa wrote down what the little one said but wouldn't give us insite whether the baby was a good little GIRL or BOY???? Guess we'll have to wait until March :)

This is what happens when you have too much excitement from visiting Santa, running the halls of the mall to burn off energy, and watching it blow snow while we are headed home. That's right, we didn't make it home before the snow started but it wasn't bad. Josey loves when it snows. She points out the window and says, "it's snowing!"
