Breakfast with Santa

Liberty went on a date with daddy to have a pancake breakfast with Santa, do a craft, decorate some cookies and sit on Santa's lap. (Thanks City of Gilbert - all for $10? I love it). They had a blast and daddy actually took some pictures to capture the day so I could see what my girlfriend asked santa for! "I want a Castle with ALL the princesses...snow white, belle..." This album has another video in it that I cannot seem to get on the blog otherwise. It is Liberty watching Henry be changed (like she does for almost EVERY diaper change!) and she is telling him to "calm down Henry, it's me, big sister." I love this video.

Santa's Lap 2011

It was the last day of MOO-ey Christmas at our nearby Superstition Farms, and we had nothing else to do so we decided - heck- let's go see if Liberty will cry or smile at Santa. Liberty has been a little chatterbox about sitting on Santa's lap. I asked her what toy she wanted Santa to bring her and she has responded with "baby" and "penguin". It may have something to do with those are often the toys she selects when I tell her to pick a toy to bring in the car - don't really know where she got those ideas. Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, we have a smile-er!

"Are you going to be a good girl?" "YEA...Nooooo"

Liberty's favorite word is YEA (very agreeable) - but she is very skeptical of Santa since her bad run in with him at the park. She's undecided about this Santa character coming to visit...

Santa's Lap: I won't cry mom, but I also refuse to smile.

We went to visit Santa Clause (at my gym! lol) and we got special treatment as the first kid with Santa. The kids in the gym daycare didn't even know Santa was there yet! So we tested places to take pictures and tried to make Liberty smile but she refused. She just kept looking at us like "You're joking right? THIS is Santa?" I'm sorry if she felt letdown, but Cameron and I had a good time snapping a few pictures.

Thanks Grandma Jo for the adorable Christmas sweater dress!
