Visit To Santa

Santa came to visit our local mall a few weeks before Thanksgiving so we took advantage of there being no lines and made our yearly trip to put our Christmas requests in. Jordyn was quite excited to see Santa until we sat her down on his lap and then she wanted out. We tried bribing her with a Rudolph stuffed animal (the brown lump she's holding onto) and that worked well enough to get her close to Santa again, but not on his lap. Finally Santa, in his infinite wisdom came up with a plan and we sat Jordyn on his footstool and he sat behind her. She was still a little nervous around Santa after this, but she was so proud of herself for sitting on Santa's lap long enough to ask for a candy cane at our ward party.
