I uv him Mommy!

This is a phrase I have heard repeatedly coming from Chloe's mouth. They started the day this picture was taken!

I will admit, I was worried about taking her to see Santa this year. We've been talking about him a lot, but that still didn't stop her from panicking when she saw him at a neighborhood Christmas party, or even when she saw him on Diego. So when we sat her on his lap and she looked up at him and said "Hi Santa" in a shy little voice, I breathed a huge sigh of relief! The worry crept up again when I realized that the photographer was working on the camera for a couple minutes, but it was completely unnecessary. She sat and talked to him, got a candy cane and looked at a picture letter another little girl had left him. He also showed her his jingle bells and sang the song for her. We actually had trouble getting her to look at the camera to get the picture taken. But when she turned, leaned her head towards him and said "cheese", we knew we had a keeper! On our way to the bathrooms to change out of her Christmas dress (or her Santa dress as she likes to call it), I was serenaded by her own sweet version of Jingle Bells. Now, she loves to look at her picture, and informs me often the she "misses" Santa and wants to "pyay" with him and that she "uvs" him.

Merry Christmas!
