another failed attempt

Here's what happened last year we took the girls to see Santa.

I thought this year might be different.  Rebecca's not too shy anymore.  She's excited about Christmas and Santa and was excited about going to see him.

But as soon as I set her down on his lap, this happened:

And this:

After I quickly snapped the pictures I rushed over and rescued her.  She stopped crying right away and talked to him a little bit in the safety of my arms.  She told him she wanted a purple present.

Rachel changed her mind about what she had written in her letter to Santa and told him something completely different that she wanted him to bring.  Uh oh!

He asked her if she'd been a good girl.  She's gotten in some trouble at school lately, so she said, "Well, I've been a little bit good and a little bit bad, but I'm trying to do better."  He thanked her for being an honest girl and told her just to do her best and that no one can be good all the time.

Rachel's honesty is hilarious! Are you going to change what you got her from Santa?

And I know what you mean about 2 year olds....Luke wouldn't go near Santa, I didn't manage to get him on his lap this year.
