Santa - ho ho ho!!

This may be - by far the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Michael decided to call into work and take his two ladies downtown to hang out with Santa Claus. Santa doesn't get many visitors on Monday's so he was thrilled to spend some quality time with Lyla...and Lyla was the sweetest little girl...she did not want her first encounter with Santa to land her on his naughty list!

Santa was so smitten that he asked if we had a bottle that he could give her.

HOW COULD WE SAY NO TO SANTA!!!

I had just breastfed her...Lyla was most definitely not hungry and I still gave Santa a bottle of expressed breastmilk. And for you none believers out there...come on...get into the holiday spirit!

Introducing the "real" Santa Claus:):)

Santa reached into his bag full of goodies and gave Lyla this adorable penguin. She didn't let go of it...so I think the green bean now has a rival...to be continued!!!! And how could we pass up this opportunity!?!?! You may find this one in your mailboxes this year...this one most likely is getting uploaded into Shutterfly to create the perfect holiday card:)

Thank you daddy (or as Michael likes to be called...fatha) for taking us to meet Santa Claus!!!

How did Nell beat me looking at these pictures:) I love them. If you were having a bad day these would make it turn into a good one. "Just Believe" that is all it takes. Love Grandma

Oh my goodness!!!That is about all I can say. These are pictures you will cherish forever. I can only imagine her face in a couple of years when you show her the picture of santa feeding her! She will surely think santa is her best friend. She is beautiful.
