Our visit to Santa's Chalet...

Maddie had her first encounter with Saint Nick. We read a few books about Santa before we went to meet him, so she would be prepared. Somehow I don't think that it worked!! The pictures tell the story better than any story I could write!





Santa met us outside his Chalet.



He even brought one of his reindeer named Jingles for us to meet.




Everything started off fine in the comfort of Daddy's big strong arms...




Then Santa tried to coax Brayden over to his lap with a candy cane, but Brayden didn't want to have anything to do with it. So I thought if Maddie sat on Santa's lap Brayden would get curious.



And this is what we got a SCREAMING little girl. I think you can see all the way to her tonsils!!

Santa was so good with her, he is so happy and jolly even though he has a screaming baby on his lap! His happy faces crack me up.

Brayden decided to try Santa' lap too. Maddie seemed to calm down with Brayden at her side and finally we were able to get a decent, non-screaming picture! Good job Santa!
