On Saturday Amelie met Santa for the first time. We had many pep talks leading up to the event and I was convinced that because Amelie has always been such an easy baby there would be no way she'd cry on Santa's lap.
Hmm, shows how much I know. So, we stopped torturing her and got in the picture.
Later, when the crowds died down I made her try again. No child of mine is going to fail!
That's more like it!
We went to meet Santa at a Newcomers Club event for our town. We met a lot of really nice families and hopefully will make some local friends. After the brunch we went to a Christmas tree farm where you can cut down your own Christmas trees. We were too late in the season to be able to cut down our own (unless we wanted a tree a la Charlie Brown) so we picked out one that was already cut. It's really beautiful and fresh. This is the first time I haven't gotten my tree from a parking lot, grocery store or out of a box!
