It was fun to talk about and experience Santa Claus with Charlotte this year. She understood that he is a nice man that lives in the North Pole. He watches to see if you were good, and if you were he will bring you a present on Christmas morning. Because she is still so young, we got to plant the seed in Charlotte's head to help her to know what to ask for from Santa! She practiced and told many people that she was asking Santa for a "really big dollhouse".
She was definitely showing her personality in this year's Santa photo at the mall. She absolutely refused to smile. But, at least she wasn't crying like last year! She did tell him that she wanted a really big dollhouse, so I say it was a success.
On Christmas Eve, while we were putting her to bed and walking out of her room, she said, "See you when Santa comes!". We were at my parents' house and sharing a room with her. She slept in a sleeping bag on the ground. When she woke up we let her crawl into bed with us. We told her it was Christmas morning and she said, "Santa not come." Oops! I guess we forgot to tell her that he would leave the presents downstairs by the Christmas tree! So, when we did go downstairs, she was very happy to see that she had actually gotten what she asked for.
Checking out her stocking with Daddy.
Mommy likes getting in on the dollhouse action, too.
She also received a minivan for the dollhouse people. We recently got a minivan for our family so she thought this one was pretty great and it is one of her favorite things to play with!
Later that day her cousin got in on the action and they had a great time playing together.
