Santa is scary!

We've never taken Kaitlyn to see Santa before (I know... I know...). Until this year. I thought she could handle it. I should have known better. She has always been afraid of people dressed up in costumes- the "plushies" at amusement parks, people in Halloween costumes, even clowns freak her out. I guess I was hoping that all my talking up of seeing Santa would keep her from having a meltdown. After all, he IS a jolly guy, right?

I got ONE picture. Right as she was sliding off his lap in terror (note the WIDE eyes). Sigh. Maybe next year.



After the Santa debaucle, we stopped into the local candy store (it's called "Chocolate Bliss", and BOY is it EVER!). She chose a large red lollipop. I got a bag of jelly bellies (YUM!). Isn't it funny how sweets make it all better?

See the tiny tear on her cheek? (AWWWW!)


Hey, this is GOOD!


Alright, enough pictures!
