santa

We had a Thanksgiving/Christmas gathering for Andrew's mom's side of the family (hello Carroll family!) in Ohio on Saturday. Santa always makes an appearance. I can't remember if I have blogged about him before, but he is a good Santa!

Anyway, I was anxious to see how Cora would react. Max gets it: he knows Santa brings presents, so he was into it. Well, right before Santa's arrival, the kids broke a Christmas pinata. (Funny, I know.) If you know Cora you know that she LOVES candy. LOVES it. She really didn't care too much about Santa. She had a bag full of candy. You should have seen her. She was relishing the fact that everyone else was watching Santa and she could eat candy as fast as possible before being discovered:

We did get her up on Santa's lap, but only if she could take her candy bag with her. This photo makes it look like she and Santa are in deep discussion about her gift. Nope. She just dropped her Tootsie Roll in his lap and was looking for it. Sorry Santa.

Max, as I said, was fine. He has quite the list for Santa this year.

Love these Santa pictures!
