Seeing Santa

Todd and I were so excited to take Jocelyn to see Santa for the first time. She of course has no idea who Santa is or what Santa's job is, but nevertheless, we still couldn't wait to get that picture of Jocelyn sitting on Santa's knee for the first time (and maybe last time if she is anything like I was when I was little). We planned on taking her Wednesday evening, but the stomach bug pushed the visit back a day.

We picked Daddy up from work last night, went to the mall and had dinner, and waited in a very short line to see Santa (we didn't even want to imagine what the line would be like this weekend had we waited until then to go). Jocelyn didn't quite know what was going on, therefore we didn't get a smile from her. It may have been because Santa was nervous that Jocelyn would start crying if she looked at him. She tried several times to look back at him and he would duck away! Finally she caught a glimpse and Santa saw that she wasn't frightened by him (unlike the pair of twins who were in line in front of us), so they enjoyed looking at each other for a little bit. It was fun and hopefully not the last time Jocelyn enjoys sitting on Santa's lap. We will see what happens next year!
