Santa and friends

Today, Ellie and I had so much fun with Jackson and Hillary. We met at the mall and took pictures with Santa. Ellie was not impressed at first and she cried whenever she saw me (so I spent the entire time crouching behind a picture-taking elf) but in the end, we got a cute picture:


Jackson, on the other hand, never warmed up to Santa. He seemed pretty certain that Santa could not be trusted, even when Mommy was there to protect him. It was sad to see him so upset, but I bet he will look back at the photo of him sobbing and laugh...I hope he will, anyway.

After the Santa excitement, we had lunch and then let the kids play in the soft/foam play area. They had a great time and we had a great time watching them. I feel so lucky to have such a great friend who loves to do the same things I do and whose son is such a sweetheart (it makes it very convenient that Ellie loves Hillary and Jackson too!).

What a fun day! And every kid needs a screaming-while-on-Santa's-lap picture... this year was Jackson's turn.

We're loving this picture with Ellie's bare feet and Santa holding her arms. We can imagine the squawking and arm flapping that would be happening otherwise. Is she just so cute?
