At our ward Christmas party on Saturday night she freaked out when he walked in. He was half a gym distance away and she was still frantically trying to climb over Mike's shoulder to get away from Santa.
She eventually calmed down and I stood in line with her to see if she would sit on his lap. She was fine while we were in line (even when she saw him), but as soon as we were the next up she started crying, screaming, and climbing over my shoulder to get away from him. So, this is the best that we are going to get this holiday season of Natalie sitting on Santa's lap.
Other than Santa, Natalie loves Christmas! She loves looking at the lights, the tree, etc. We decorated our gingerbread house the other weekend. I made the gingerbread house from scratch (just as my mother did for us growing up). Natalie loves the licorice on it!
This Christmas will be fun with Natalie when it comes to opening up presents. Hope you all are getting in the Christmas spirit!
P.S. All is well with Natalie's arm. It must have just been sprained.

Mike sure looks happy to be decorating that ginger bread house. ;) Sorry if Maddie has traumatized Natalie from Santa. She may have scared her when Vickie turned the dancing Santa on that night and she was having that freak out. Maddie still has not seen a 'moving' Santa this year, so when she does, it should be interesting.
i just love her little smile and confidence so much. i can't get over it!!! so funny how they are scared of santa. we have the funniest pic of max screaming in terror this year with brennan looking bored on the other knee. i don't think i've posted it on my blog yet!
