We have a busy few weeks coming up so we are checking off our visit to Santa rather early this year. The plus side is, there were NO kids in line so Santa spent a lot of time with the girls and Joseph. Lorelai and Evelyn weren't shy at all and talked his ear off. Joseph liked his beard and had no problem sitting on his lap. Anyone who knows Scarlet knows she's incredibly shy and introverted in social situations and around new people. When she's excited you can't tell. She gets very straight faced and won't speak, won't smile. Sometimes you can get a simple nod out of her. It was a struggle to take her picture but we were able to capture a small smile that worked. Afterward, she got her candy cane from Santa and I said to her, "Did you tell Santa what you wanted for Christmas?" And she looked at me and shook her head subtly. So I said, "Well, you better go tell him!" She looked at me, wide-eyed, and walked right up to him and became this chatter box asking him for a "zebra toy" (whatever that is). And she just chatted away with him. He was so patient. A great Santa. The entire time Joe and I are looking at each other thinking "who are you?" It was hilarious. Hopefully she is breaking out of her shell!
