Most 5 and 7 year old kids can't wait to see Santa so they can tell him what toy they just HAVE to get for Christmas. My 5 year old had no problem with that....he was all about telling Santa that he wants a Creepy Crawlers Baking Studio for Christmas (great, more things for the puppy to tear up and eat). My 7 year old was not so thrilled. See, she has never really been a fan of Santa in person. She doesn't mind pictures or dolls or seeing him on the TV but to have to see him in person well, it's like we just asked her to eat a bowl of spinach. Two years ago when daddy took them to see Santa at a local store she totally freaked out in the car on the way. She demanded that she was staying in the car while her brother and daddy went to see Santa. Then she only wanted to stand way in the back of the store away from the noise and lines and kids and everything. Eventually she made it to Santa and supposedly a picture was even taken but the store couldn't find it so I have no actual proof. After that experience she said she never wanted to see Santa again.
This year we (well the kids and daddy and grandma since mommy had to work) went to the local volunteer fire dept in our neighborhood to see Santa. Kassidy was not thrilled to have to see the old man again but it was the only way to tell him that she just has to have a Barbie Dream Townhouse.
So there is Kassidy in the blue jacket and pink barbie boots looking like she is about to enter the dungeon of doom. But......
after some carefully planned seating arrangement we finally made it, even if it ment Kassidy was the farthest away on the floor. I asked her if she told Santa what she wanted and she said she yelled it from where she was sitting and she hoped he heard her.......oh believe me baby girl, he heard you loud and clear!
