Yesterday morning were planning on going to see Santa at the mall but at Mass they announced that the Knights of Columbus were having a breakfast fundraiser with Santa. So we adjusted plans and went to that instead.
Alma was shocked to see Santa in the auditorium. Even though we sat at the furthest table from him, she still wanted to just stay in Joshua's arms, especially after Santa waved at her. Eventually she ate some breakfast (still on Joshua's lap) and stared at Santa the whole time. After we were done eating and beginning to pack up, Santa came over with a little present for Alma (a tiny stuffed bear and candy cane) which he gave to me while she clung in Joshua's arms and sucked her thumb. She was really impressed that I gave Santa a hug.
It made me happy that we didn't have to brave the craziness of the mall to have her avoid the big guy. She has spent the day talking about how the stuffed bear came from Santa, like it is the most magical thing in the world. She is such a sweetie.
