Our ward has such a fun tradition of having a Christmas breakfast with a visit from Santa. It is casual setting (you can come in your pj's and be just fine...love that) and fun to just eat, relax, & chat with friends. This year they added some songs and a story for the kids.
The highlight for us was that now as we approach Taylor's 4th Christmas she has yet to actually willingly sit on Santa's lap. She usually won't even go within 5 feet of him. (In fact...we were at Smith's Marketplace the other day and they had Santa there for the kids, Taylor saw him and went all the way around the checkout stands to avoid him!) For some reason, she is afraid of his beard and says he just looks "rude", not that she really knows what that means.
So, back to the party...
Santa arrives to the delight of most kids. As we wait in line Brooklyn is not afraid and says she will sit on his lap and Taylor bravely said, "OK...I will just stand right by him." It worked! She bravely stood there long enough for me to move away enough to snap a picture to document the occasion. Afterwards...she was so excited and exclaimed that he was So nice and not "weird" at all. (Thanks...Santa!) Plus, she announced that she was actually going to SIT on his lap the next day at the upcoming Harris Santa Party!!
