HO HO HO! Meeeeerrrrrry- Get me outta here!

We prepared for the visit with Santa the whole morning by playing with this life-like Santa doll I had in the house. It was going well... I would say " this is Santa, he is really nice!" then I would give him a hug and kiss, and she would giggle. Once we got to the mall I pointed at Santa with some other kids and said "Look! Santa!" - I really think she noticed the connection. She pointed at him and said - THAT! So far it was going well, Even when it was our turn and approached Santa she seemed ok...

Then... she freaked out... Which was expected.... Poor Leni! Hopefully, she will look back and laugh at these pictures next year!
