We headed downtown to Nordstrom to continue our tradition with Santa. Again, we lucked out and were able to get into the John W. Nordstrom room (because we had a newborn). Andy was excited to see Santa and was a champ. He happily sat on Santa's lap and described his wish for a space station (Lego) in great detail. Katie...well, she was horrified. She screamed when she first saw Santa as we walked into the room. She was covering her mouth as she did the silent and then not so silent sobs. Once she received her candy cane and was a good distance away from him in Daddy's arms, she yelled, "I love you Santa!" She must have wanted to make sure she still remained on the "nice" list this year. Pretty funny, that girl. Lots of drama and sass these days. Abi - just burrowed into Santa's cozy arms and grabbed at his beard. Then, she pooped into Santa's hand. He looked at me and said, "I think she just made a contribution." I looked at Santa's hand - nothing soaked through - so I told him to continue taking pictures. Sorry Santa, no time for a diaper change : )
After pictures we headed to the Carousel. This time, Andy wasn't so sure, but Katie was all about it. Andy had more fun yelling at his sister as she rounded the loop and Katie was in heaven riding a "pony pony" with her daddy. She waved and smiled each time she saw us. Then she walked with daddy to his car while we headed back to our car. Katie saw the waterfront and ferris-wheel at night with all the lights and thought it was pretty special to be the only one with daddy.
Although it was a little crazy to get all three kids dressed and out of the house (a small miracle for me these days), once we made it downtown, we had some happy kiddos and mama.
Santa a little concerned about Abi's "contribution" - and Kyle almost ended up in our Santa picture this year : )
