If you hang out at the Food Court at the mall enough you just might run into Santa! My little one discovered the Food Court this year and now any trip to the mall has to include a stop there. This certainly slowed me down in terms of getting the Christmas shopping done but was worth the scream of delight when she spotted Santa.
She literally shouted "Mommy look, look. Look at what I see." I turned around not knowing what to expect. Her excitement was followed by a very rational five year old declaring that Santa doesn't belong here. He is supposed to be sitting in the big chair taking photos. I smoothed things over by asking "How do you think Santa stays so fat." That did the trick and we had a good laugh.
What we don't have is a photo of her with jolly old St. Nick. She refused to go anywhere near the photo area declaring she was too shy. She actually refused to go down the escalator near his big chair. So I'll be putting this photo in the album where the cute photo with Santa should be.
