RaleyAndSanta
Um… help?

On Sunday, Raley visited Santa for the first time (we missed it last year, I guess). She wasn’t entirely sure about the man in the red suit (apparent in the photo!) but she was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, if not a smile. Santa was impressed with her; he confided that 9 out of 10 children who are introduced to him and give him “the look” burst into tears. The two boys right behind us (the younger about Raley’s age) did - hysterical screaming. I’m glad they weren’t right in front of us!

We’re up late packing up the car; tomorrow we start our drive to visit my sister in Colorado for the holidays… 10 whole days of vacation! Hooray! We managed to get all of the presents wrapped and everything in bags and boxes; now it’s just a matter of making it all fit. Then a 17 hour drive with a very active 21 month old. Wish us luck!

Happy holidays! I hope you get whatever you asked Santa for this year.
