Vivian meeting Santa

Off to see Santa

We made our way to see Santa Claus at the Cotton Exchange today.  I am happy to announce that Vivian did not cry.  She just studied this big guy with a white beard.

There was this little boy, I'm guessing about 9 months old, did not care for him one bit!  He was crying hysterically.  Mom had to jump in and take him to get his picture.  I was slightly worried that maybe Vivian would act the same way.  Like I just mentioned, she didn't :)

He was a pretty good Santa. At least he looked like one.  There was a little boy in front of us that was wearing a West Virginia cap, and Santa decided to give a History lesson.  He got a little out of character.  He even said the word, idiot, while talking about football to the dad.  The kids didn't seem too off by it.  I know the adults did.  Oh well.

 

I'm just glad we got our first picture with Santa with no tears.  I'm sure next year will be a different story.  

Afterwards we had lunch at Paddy's Hollow.  Vivian decided to talk the majority of the time we were there.  Child has been mute for over a month and now she has found her little voice again.  I think its adorable.  We had a nice lunch before heading home.

 I think she was tired of all the picture taking.
