Santa Claus...I Don't Think So!

travis and i took olivia to see santa for the first time on monday...during the move we did not get around to it last year. we had high hopes that she would love santa just as she loved the easter bunny back in the spring...no such luck. there was no one in line so we just walked right up and began chatting with santa and his helpers. olivia immediately began shaking her little hands and grunting...what she does now to let us know she isn't happy with the situation. santa offered her candy...she wasn't interested. he talked to her with a very jolly demeanor...not interested. we tried distracting with all the beautiful decorations...not interested. we decided to take a stroll around the mall...thinking she might forget...hoping she would feel better acquainted seeing him the second time...not interested. needless to say...we had a family picture made with santa...only by daddy turning her where she could not see him until it was time for the camera to snap...then quickly turning her to be included in the pic. a very fun family outing! oh the holidays!
