Visit to Santa

We went to the mall to visit Santa on Monday afternoon. I was glad Ella had a little bit of Santa practice first at her school party and she was really excited to go see him, especially because there would be a big Christmas tree.

When it was time, Ella let me put him on his lap but she did not say a word to him at all - she looked down and kind of froze in place - but, we managed to get a cute picture of her with him!



After Santa we both took a ride with her on the Merry Go Round, which is definitely on of her very favorite things to do and has become a post-Santa tradition for us :)

We had a really fun family day together, and Ella is officially ready for Santa to visit on Friday night!!
