Third time's a charm!!!


She finally did it!! Sadie sat on Santa's lap this year. If you remember my post last year, she was terrified of Santa. I don't know why I should be so excited that she is now brave enough to go to a strange man she doesn't know, but it was a very proud moment when she finally decided to let the man know what she wants for Christmas. At first she was petrified. She saw him coming down the hall at the ward Christmas party and ran the other way. However, once she saw all the children lining up to see him, she asked to go up to the stage to get a good look herself. Once it was her turn our smart little Sadie thought that instead of sitting on his lap she would just yell over to him what she wants...."hey Santa..I want a pretty dress and Sleeping Beauty shoes." I told her that if she wanted those things she would have to sit on his lap and tell him so we could take a picture. She sacrificed for the gifts and sat on his lap and then surprised us all with a big grin and a "cheese" into the camera. What a gal!! Santa's definitely getting her what she asked for:-)

Ella loved Santa this year to! I thought for sure it would be a repeat of last year's crying in hysteria. But she really liked the jolly guy. Kinda fun. Love all your new posts! Keep em' coming!
