We took Ashlyn and Brent to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop so that Ashlyn could tell him what she wants for Christmas. I really thought she would be nervous and speechless but she took one look at him and shouted, "There's Santa Claus!" I took my camera with us since the pictures were free and I'd much rather have done them myself instead getting some blurry ones off the store's point and shoot. But she walked right up to him, climbed up onto his lap and told him exactly what she wanted without a stutter. Brent sat on his lap merely for picture-taking purposes and just wasn't too sure about him.
I was so proud of her and how she had no fear. She was so excited. And when she was finished and she climbed down out of his lap, we began to walk away but not before she turned back around and asked, "Hey Santa Claus? Can I pet your reindeer?" So cute! Jade picked her up and leaned her over toward the stuffed reindeer and let her pat his nose.
I thought that Santa did a great job. He really looked the part! So real!
It made for a magical moment for my sweet 3 year old daughter. Ah, the innocence of childhood.
