Visiting Santa





Our sweet little princess elf with her Santa!



I love how these pictures capture her visit . . .


Telling Santa what she wants for Christmas (we had to help a little as she forgot)
Huh, Santa looking to us for some help.  I suppose having gum in her mouth didn't help, oops~

A scooter, you say . . . .
Ah, okay. . . Santa relieved he understands, Liliah happy that Santa understands~


Thank you, Santa
Goodbye, and see you next year!

It is Liliah's tradition to play in the many fountains during our Christmas visit and toss the pennies . . .
Okay, so she fishes for her own pennies!

It's the FIRST thing she does right after visiting with Santa

I love that she still enjoys the simple things of life
On our way to get Kringle

Tea time . .



Petting the winter animals
Looking at the ornaments . . . she found a Santa she wanted

Our blooper Christmas picture . . . .we did have a good one captured, though.
