So apparently my daughter doesn't really like Santa Claus. Auntie Kimmy (Addison's "fairy" godmother) & I took Addie to the mall this past Saturday where we were one of the first ones in line to see Santa. Kim coached me while we were waiting, "Just drop her and go". That's what we did. I plopped my trusting daughter in Santa Claus's lap, gave her dress a fluff, and backed up to let the cameras fly. The moment I stepped away, Addie went nuts. My heart is breaking. Kim is doing just fine in the corner yelling, "Keep going!! Keep taking the pictures!!". It was mayhem and it was hilarious. Great picture, isn't it?!?! : ) As if that torture wasn't enough, I decided it was time to get my sweet girls ears pierced. I'm not going to go into great detail, but let's just say that Kim was absolutely adorable and had a harder time than I did with Addie's ear piercing. Addie did great and she looks adorable. I don't know that she'll ever want to go to the mall again, but she looks good. Sometimes you have to sacrifice for fashion, right?!?! At least she enjoyed the singing bears display... Anyway, we're looking forward to Christmas and being able to watch Addison enjoy the holiday season with more understanding than she did last year. She's growing so fast and we just watch her in amazement. She's an amazing girl.

what a funny but sad story :) Those pics of her are soooo cute though. I love the blue face :)
Poor Addie! Can't believe you've pierced her ears already. Love the dress and cute hair for her Santa picture. Most kids her age don't like Santa up close and personal - kind of scary for a little person. She hasn't connected him with toys yet! Look forward to seeing you guys next week!
we got the same mall pic as you too. and i loved every minute. miss you
