we waited until the last weekend before christmas to go see santa with katie and i originally wanted to take her to the mall because these days the mall santas are so darn good but we ended up waiting and i found out when my old neighborhood was having santa come visit and we took her then.
it was only fitting because i remember being little and going to sit on santa's lap in my neighborhood circle with all the kids that lived close so it was great to come back to a familiar place with a little history and introduce katie to santa there.
i was honestly a little nervous that she would cry because most infants do but when santa came she just looked at him and said ehh no biggie.
when i put her on his lap she looked at me and gave me one whimper not knowing what was going on but after that she just sat there and tugged on his beard (which could have been catastrophic to the other kids if katie had pulled too hard but she is so gentle it wasn't a problem) we got some great photos.
when we were done i shed a tear because i was so proud of her for not being scared. i truly can't believe how big she is getting and how wonderful a baby i have . i am so lucky.
we snapped this family photo before we left and it turned out so great it could be one of my favorites.
