Emily got to visit with Santa two times in one week. We first went to visit him when my mom was here to watch Emily while Matt and I had to work on a Saturday and then we saw him again this past Friday while Matt's parents were here. The first time she wouldn't sit in his lap and she hung onto me so tight and wouldn't get a picture with him. We talked about going to another mall and getting our picture with a different Santa, but we were already at the mall by our house and decided to try again. She let me put her on Santa's lap and the only hard part was trying to get her to smile. They only take up to three pictures and you have to choose the one you like the best. This was the best out of the three. At least she wasn't screaming her head off in the picture like she did last year. The only thing is that she pooped in her pants right before we went to see him so I hope Santa couldn't smell or feel it. Sorry Santa.
Sunday we went to Wal-Mart after breakfast with Matt's parents and we saw a Santa there. He was all the way at the other end of the store walking down one of the main walkways and Emily saw him coming and started yelling 'Santa'. She started waving at him and he waved back at her. When he got closer he said 'ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas' and shook her hand. She was so excited and actually said 'bye' to him instead of just waving goodbye like she normally does to people she doesn't know. She is getting so excited about Christmas even though she doesn't understand it. The house is all decorated inside and out and she says 'pretty' when we see a house with their lights on at night. So far she has done pretty good with leaving the ornaments alone. Every once in a while she'll take one off and bring it to me. It's usually one of her Care Bear ornaments or one of Matt's Star Wars ornament.
