Trimming the tree and seeing Santa!

Things have been busy around the household these days! Yesterday we took Anna to see Santa at the mall. We got there an 45 minutes before the mall opened and still had to wait a while in line. Anna was great the first half hour, then she had decided that she had enough of sitting still. She wanted to get down and move around (not that I blamed her). We distracted her with some puffs and she ate for the remainder of the 15 minute wait. By the time we got up to Santa we were hoping that she would be okay to sit on his lap. Matt eased her onto his lap and she just stared. She was mesmerized by his appearance. She didn't really smile, but she just looked and looked at him. As a matter of fact, I only got one picture (that's all they will let you take personally) but the cute package we bought is a picture of Anna looking up at Santa and him smiling at her. It looks as if she is in awe.....so sweet! I'll have to scan it and post it soon.
In addition to seeing Santa, we have been working on decorating the house. I have posted some of the pictures of that too!

The ornaments begin their decent from the attic

Anna is precious, as always! However, what was wrong with Santa???? Why wasn't he smiling? ;)
