Sydney knew for 3 days that she'd get to see Santa ... so her patience was wearing thin by dinner. We wanted to wait until Mona got into town so Mona could come with us and share the experience. Well we were at the mall 3 days prior and she SAW Santa and yelled "Hi Santa!!!! IT'S ME SYDNEY!! REMEMBER ME!!!! ILL SEE YOU IN THREE DAYS! DONT FORGET!!! BYYYYYYEE!!" and he said "ho ho ho" or something and she asked "is that all he says? why didn't he say 'hi'". Anyway, fast forward... it was Thanksgiving lunch at her school and my mom had lunch with her, they put on a little show, and that was, apparently, a hoot. My Mom was just excited to make the list of "thankful fors" finally. I pick Sydney up at 3:30pm and she is a ball of impatience until we go to Santa. God forbid we go to dinner first, LORD!! She scarffed down those corn tortillas, cheese and broccoli so fast. We took the elevator down, and it. was. just. not. fast. enough. She could see Santa through the glass.
SANTAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! She was totally stoked! See how shy she is? There wasn't a line either. And since we are "early in the game" she's excited the elves will get to work on her Handy Manny workshop, achoo baby doll, microscope and sports car before all the other kids!
Kell-Bell was a trooper!
We got an awesome photo of the girls!! This Santa was AWESOME! Best Santa we've ever encountered in a mall! I am definitely calling to compliment. He let me snap photos, he sat and talked with Sydney about all kinds of things, played with Kelli, explained the elves to Sydney, talked about vacationing in Florida sometimes (haha!) and told her his favorite cookies. She asked him alot of questions and he just sat there and answered with imagination. He was awesome. Sydney is still glowing from the experience.
one of my favorite Sara blog posts ever.
