After attending a christmas party with our Gymboree friends we decided it was a good day to take our Santa picture. We headed to Bellevue to continue our tradition of visiting the Santa's workshop and the stores. Once we arrived at Santa's workshop Addison and Greyson were all smiles. Addison looked up and saw Santa's sleigh and the reindeer flying, she said,"Look Daddy it's ruldo, (you know short for Ruldolph) he is flying." She laughed, "there he is." As she looked up and pointed with her finger. She started sinigng the Rudolph song, which is one of her favorite songs, we sing it year round. She has decided that she likes to sing by herself so if Damien or I try to sing with her she looks at us very serious and says, "No, Daddy you don't sing." You have to smile at her little personality coming through. We have to correct her and say oh are you trying to tell us that you want us to listen to your song instead of sing and she then agrees. While we were in line Damien was showing Addison where Santa was and how when it is her turn she will sit on his lap with Greyson. He then asked her what she was going to tell Santa when he asks her what she wants for Christmas, she looked at him very seriously and said, "A stuffed kitty." We smiled and wondered how she knows to say a stuffed kitty. We then asked her what Greyson wants for Christmas, she said "He wants a parrot." We smiled and said, that we were glad that she knows what to tell Santa.
Once it was there turn Damien placed Addison on Santa's lap, while I put Greyson next to her. Addison looked at him with big shining eyes. She gave us the biggest smile and was so excited. Greyson smiled at us and then he heard Santa talk, so he turned his head to look at this person holding him. He then looked at his sister, back at us and the photographer, then back to Santa, then back to his sister and to his parents. We hope we got one good photo of him looking forward because after the third sequence of looking at his surroundings he lost it. Big, big tears and crying burst from our little man. I quickly came to the rescue while Damien watched our little lady look Santa in the eyes and tell him very seriously that she wanted a stuffed kitty for Christmas. It was adorable. She took her time to make sure she got it all out and smiled when she was done. She was so comfortable just hanging with Santa. She looked at his reindeer and he informed her that his name was "Coach and he was one of Santa's helpers." He then gave her a sucker, looked to her Dad and told Santa, "Merry Christmas."
Later as we were shopping she ate her sucker, as she was eating it she said, "Santa gave it to me.
