Strangers with candy.
Last year was Avery's first Christmas and since she was sitting on her own and had absolutely ZERO stranger danger we decided to take her to visit Santa Claus. We were told about this Santa with a real beard and real twinkles in his eyes and ZOMG maybe he really is Santa!
So we went.
And it was magical. She LOVED Santa. Maybe it's because he rocks a pretty hardcore beard and so does her dad. Who knows, and who cares? I was so happy that she didn't freak out like the other children before her did. They were twin boys and were about Avery's age and neither one of them wanted to be anywhere near Santa. Poor ol' Mr. Kringle tried offering the boys a coloring book and they each grabbed one and then ran out of the room while their mother chased after them apologizing to the photographer.
This year we returned to the same Santa and he was just as jolly this year and Avery warmed up to him right away.
To say that I was relieved would be an understatement. Toddlers are notorious for acting like assholes around strangers and most of them seem to HATE the man in red but not my kid.
So that's a V for Victory in my book. Now, if she would just stop taking off her diaper after she poops.....
So we went.

We saw the worlds worst Santa last year. He actualy had an IV in his arm. An IV?????? Seriously?
My kids were so scared that Santa was sick and I listened to the crying and moaning all the way home. I should have sued for emotional distress lol
Your Santa looks awesome! And you darling baby is adorable!
Good deal. I let MIL do the Santa trips. I'm no friend of the mall.
Magical baby looks beautiful with Santa. MDA
That is pretty awesome. Boy am I glad Ian doesn't take his diaper off himself yet.
ACK! SO CUTE!!!!
Yeah, my kids have never been scared of the fat guy either. My kids aren't scared of shit, though. I just posted a story about how Jonas spotted a man with TWO HOOKS for his hands, and he insisted on striking up a conversation with him. Elizibeth Shue in Adventures in Babysitting wouldn't even do that!
Man, she is seriously one cute kid... hoping you have more in the near future ;)
And you *do* have one rockin' Santa, I'm jealous.
Very cute! Where is this Santa? Please share! Last year the santa was coughing up a lung AND picking his nose, so I was not about to put my newborn baby in his lap! This year we went to Grapevine Mills where the Santa wanted desperately to wear his cowboy hat, but we didn't let him. :P
