Since we haven't done the mall santa, only waved from a comfortable distance, this was Taylor's first encounter. She was nice and comfy on his lap, so we lived it up knowing that it would probably be another 3-4 years till she'll do that again. Emma was very excited to give him her letter, I didn't think for a second that she would get in touching range of him, so I was happy enough with her handing the letter in daddy's arms and had no intention of pushing it! For memory's sake, I've posted her picture with Santa...I remember that day like it was yesterday. She was not as comfortable as Taylor was...we had about 3 seconds to get that picture.
This is my favorite Emma smile! She was in heaven with the crafts they had for the kids...it was almost better than seeing Santa.

So cute...how fun that they have crafts for the kids to do. That's something new, isn't it?
I was with you on Emma's first visit to Santa...remember?
Of course I remember! That was a really fun visit...I just can't believe it was more than 2 years ago!
See how fast 3 years will go???
(By the way, I read your post more closely and realized that the crafts were at church, not at the Mall...I thought things were really improving since I took my kids to see Santa at the Mall.)
It's so great to have Santa at ward parties! Last year we didn't, so I did the mall thing. Only to get up there, after nearly an hour in line with my psycho son, and have him scream his head off. I swore I'd never do that again, so this year I snuck into Jacy's ward Santa visit!
Your girls look so cute! Emma looks like she did pretty good. That's about as much as any toddler will do :)
