Seeing the Man in Red

We went to Bass P*ro Sh0p to see the Big Man last night and it was a success! Annslee had to tell him her requests~ a trash can and candy~ yes, apparently Gigi told her a story about Aunt Beth wanting a trash can one year and she thought it was hillarious and is stuck on that now : )

Here they are waiting to see him



Still patiently waiting....



I let Coby go first and he was very interested in Santa and kept looking at his beard. Poor baby is broken out head to toe as he had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics they gave him for the staph. Pray that the rash clears and the staph doesn't come back as they said he can't take the other one used either so they'd have to call the CDC to see what to do! Ok...on to the cute pics~




Annslee jumped in for a shot together ~ aren't they sweet...I am sure he will be good to them this year



Annslee LOVES Santa (unlike the first two years) and couldn't wait for her time alone with him. I don't know what all she said to him but they chatted for a while and she kept laughing out loud. I just love her spirit!



Enjoying the candy cane she received as she watched the fish~ Hey, this is a great place to do Santa pics as they are FREE and they let you take all the pics you want with your camera. I think the ones I got are better than theirs b/c Annslee is trained to look at my camera LOL




On the way out she spotted this! I think she wanted to go back and tell Santa to add it to her list! She did stop by on the way out to verify with him that he likes "M E M E cookies (M & M)" and yes, he does. She also yelled " I luv you Santa" a few times blowing kisses : )

I know some of you don't remember her initial reaction to the Big Man so here's a little flashback for you : )

Santa 2005~ *we'd been home from China a couple of weeks...so mean of us I know but hey, she is reaching for us so maybe we are bonding *

Santa 2006 ~ *still unhappy but bigger and Santa actually asked us to get her off b/c she was kicking him so hard*




Santa 2007 ~ *LOVES him now and she saw him several times this year and I have lots of smiling ones but thought this was sweet*



Santa 2008 ~ *A picture worth waiting for!!! We didn't ask Santa for anything tonight b/c I think we already have all we need*



I hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
