Two Fridays ago, Santa flew in to visit the Montessori school where Ava attends. Ava stayed home with me Tuesday through Thursday last week. I worked while she got some much needed rest, as she was getting over bronchiolitis. Her cough has since gotten much better. She had a recurrence of the stomach bug we battled, too. So, we've been laundry-washin' fools around these parts...
She seemed to be doing well enough by that Friday, so Doug and I both dropped her off in her Christmas finery. (Thanks to Great Uncle Bill and Great Aunt Jackie). Santa had white hair and a natural beard! He looked so authentic! And was very sweet, too. Ava sat in his lap and did great! We then all had our picture taken with Santa.
We dropped her off for the day, after pictures with Santa. She seemed happy to be with all of the other kiddos again, too.I hadn't planned on getting my picture taken with Santa... I just planned on Ava sitting with him. (I'm happy to simply get a shower before getting to the day care...) So, with my wet hair, we all took our first family picture with Santa Claus. We squeezed in for a cozy picture.
The principal told me that Santa came last year, too. She said that his other job is working for UPS, delivering packages. HOW FITTING IS THAT??? :-)
Anxiously awaiting another visit with Santa,
Shelly, Doug and Ava

We decided to sit out the whole visit with Santa thing this year. Mostly because the idea of battling crowds at the mall to wait in line for hours with an infant - to see a guy dressed in red and white - which Zoe may not like, and will definetly never remember - just doesn't sound like fun for the mommy (or baby!). Maybe next year. Scrooge - I mean Molly ;)
