We haven't really been talking up Santa this year. Instead, we've been telling Penny the story of how baby Jesus was born in a manger and how we're going to have a party for his birthday. She runs around saying "Jesus is coming to Penny". And sometimes, she goes to the front door to see if Jesus is coming. She is so excited for His birthday! I'd love for our Christmases to come to be filled with this same sentiment, hoping that we don't let ourselves get caught up in the presents and that we remember what the season is all about. But, I still want a Santa picture every year. So, we set out to our local mall to see the big guy. I wasn't sure how it would go- Penny is in another mommy-phase, where she wants no one buy me. She doesn't really like strangers. But, armed with monkey, she did a pretty good job sitting on Santa's lap. She was so confused when he asked her what she wanted for Christmas...she just wanted to get off his lap so she could ride the carousel at the mall! I'm calling this year's photo a success :)
