Well, we went to visit Santa last night at Santa's Wonderland in the Bass Pro Shop. We thought Ella would love to walk around looking at the magical Christmas set-up...which she did. We also thought she might like to write Santa a letter to tell him what she wanted this year...which she did. We thought she would enjoy watching the fish and staring at Santa while we waited...which she did. All in all, we were having a wonderful time. Ella was in awe of all the things to look at and do, and she even kept pointing and saying "Santa!!!". {Of course I don't have any of this documented because I forgot my camera!...pregnancy brain ;) } Finally, it was her turn to sit on his lap and look into his eyes and smile. NOT. A. CHANCE. Poor thing wouldn't even sit on his lap! She wiggled right down and would hardly sit beside him with daddy. It was so sad, yet comical all at the same time. :) I had a feeling it would be this way though.
Now, we all know that we have a picture similar to this one from years past...
(Sorry the quality is so bad, I had to scan the picture in.)
Hahaha! You can see the motion of her flailing body and the pain in Zach's face. It was hilarious! Poor Santa didn't know what to do either. We just wanted the little elf to take the picture so we could move on, even though he was trying to be sweet and get her to smile. Our little strong willed child was not being convinced, so this is what we ended up with, and I love it! Ha!
Oh well, at least we clearly know what she wants for Christmas this year... ;)
To see Ella's first encounter with Santa from last year, go here!
