December 11

The day Audrey has been waiting for finally arrived! Today Audrey got to go see Santa and sit on his lap. And as you can tell from her face in the above picture, Santa was a big hit!

Audrey always surprises me. Even though she has been talking about Santa and about sitting on his lap for a long time now, I was pretty sure that when the time actually came, she would chicken out. But nope, she was totally willing to sit on his lap and laugh and smile and pose for a picture! The picture below is bad quality because the flash didn't go off, but you can see that she even gave him a high five before it was time to go.

And then after visiting Santa, she got a free cookie and a free stuffed animal. I'm so glad that Amy gave us the tip to go see Santa at Goodwill today. We had tried to get a picture with Santa at the mall last week, but they wanted to charge us $25 for a picture package, which is ridiculous! The Goodwill Santa was free for us to take our own picture, and then we got the free cookie and free stuffed animal too! (Though the stuffed animal was a donated/used Goodwill animal, which seems a little dirty to me, but it was free and Audrey liked it, so it will be alright I guess).
