Santa Visit 2010!

We are very privileged to know a very special Santa, which Laela has been pictured with all three years! Here we were last year...Santa's schedule was pretty booked, but we managed to get in his schedule and meet him at The Eung's House.

We have been preparing Laela all week by telling her how nice and wonderful Santa is because she has not been a big fan of him. Well, actually she loves the thought of him, but when he gets close she goes CRAZY! This morning she woke up and "I will see Santa today" were her first words. YEA!

Laela has been very crazy after her nap on Saturday afternoons, so when she got up today she was in her funk and it was not good. Then, Ro asked Laela if she wanted to take Santa a lollipop. WOW! Her eyes lit up! Great idea, so it went into her new purse and off we went. (Side note: I just got this purse from one of my school kiddos and Laela stole it from me. She absolutely loves it!) Immediately, she saw Santa when we walked in and she was waving and saying hello! She was thrilled about Santa being there. Laela went in a little closer and got out her lollipop to share with Santa. Santa tried very hard to get her to come closer, but this was as close as she wanted for now. Then Laela and Santa gave knuckles! We snuck in a few shots with Santa, but as you can see...Laela would NOT sit in Santa's lap. Actually, she wouldn't even stand next to him. If Ro or I were next to Santa then Laela would sit/stand by us. This was way better than her screaming her head off, but we may try for the lap next year! As I said earlier, Santa is very busy so he had to go. On his way out, Laela gave him a kiss! Go Laela! I have a feeling that Santa will be very good to Laela this year!
