Dear Santa...

I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but you've gotta get in early with the Big Guy around here! We went to visit Santa today and, well, it was rather wild. I wasn't crazy about sitting with him, but did stay long enough to get a few of my requests in (anything Elmo!). Needless to say, I'm glad it's over and the elves can get to work! :)

Ways to entertain yourself while waiting for Santa:

Run anywhere and everywhere---fast!

Try out the escalator

Feel the soft, velvet rope while in line


Pose with Daddy

Climb the stairs

And finally, pose with Mommy...almost ready to go see the Big Man!

So far so good...

Meltdown!

Okay, so I wasn't crazy about sitting on Santa's lap. And, I hate to tell that guy but, waving that stuffed animal wasn't going to change anything.

Zoom in on the meltdown

(Note from Mommy: I love this picture! While I hate to see my baby cry, every child needs a "crying with Santa" picture! We got ours out of the way at year two!)

I was able to tell him what I wanted once Mommy came to rescue me

Whew! What a morning!

I'm sorry some of the photos are blurry...our camera was acting up &/or our little one wouldn't stay still! :)

Happy Weekend!!

Such a good helper!

Fall Party

I had a Fall Party today at school. It was so fun--especially because Mommy came! :) We wore our pilgrim hats, had a special snack, and played a bit.

Is my pilgrim hat cute or what?! I made it myself!

Skyler and I enjoying our snack

My school friends eating, too.

On the move!

I like to play with dolls at school, since we don't have them at home. Shh, don't tell Daddy! ;)

Nothing cuter than an "action", from-behind shot!

Every puppy dog needs to start their day with a bark...

...and a banana!

My friend Jackson came over to play before trick-or-treating...he was a great lion!

Mama and her favorite puppy dog!

There aren't many things cuter than a puppy's backside...

About time for this hat to come off...

Dada and his sweet puppy!

We hope everyone had a fun, safe Halloween!!
