Santa & Abby

I had high hopes for Santa this year. We've seen him twice already in passing and Abby hasn't been terrified of him and we have an advent calendar with chocolates and a picture of Santa and every day we joyfully open a door and talk about how nice it was that Santa brought us a piece of chocolate and I'm happy to say that although the picture of Abby and Santa does feature a crying Abby it wasn't as bad as last year and as soon as she was off Santa's lap she was calm and smiling, so those tears weren't REAL, full blown tears... I am hopeful that next year we might make it without a single tear. We'll see...
