That's right folks! This is my 100th post! And to celebrate I'm going to show you some pictures of Kennedy's first trip to see Santa. We dressed Kennedy up in her cute new outfit that grandpa got her for Christmas and headed over to the Willowbend Mall to see Santa!
We got there right before his "milk and cookies" break, so there was only one person in line in front of us, which was awesome. An hour later there was a line of at least 20 people. The theme was The Polar Express, and we got to walk through the front of the train and pull levers and strings to make noise. Then we got to walk through a huge snow globe. I still had snow on me when I went to bed.
Kennedy did very well with Santa, and I wasn't expecting anything less. She didn't smile, but she certainly wasn't scared. First thing she did was try to pull on his beard.
Here she is checking out this big red man she's sitting with.
Wyatt went for his first trip to Santa too, and he also did really well! We were proud of those kids for not freaking out, because the kid who came behind us did.
We then shopped at the mall and Kennedy melted out hearts when we looked down in the stroller and she was just smiling up at Brett for no reason at all. We're so glad that we got to see Santa this year and start our Christmas traditions!
And now for something completely different, my quest for holiday cookies is going slowly. Or at least the first attempt was not so great. The Chewy Ginger Cookies I made last night were decent, but not tradition worthy. I am bummed, but ready and waiting to make some Frosted Brown Sugar Cookies tonight!
