Last Saturday we took our girls to have their picture taken with Santa. We got in line and watched as many other kids had their pictures taken then received a small bag of candy. Elise showed no sign of hesitation and told us she would smile and tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas. She was really excited about those bags of candy. Finally it was our turn. Elise waited until she was nice and close to the man in the red suit before she freaked out! She screamed, flailed, dropped to the ground and acted like a slippery little noodle....
I don't think Elise was too traumatized because when she said her bedtime prayers that night Santa was at the top of her list of people to thank Jesus for!
