For the last three years, Elizabeth has been terrified of Santa Claus. It is very odd, as she worships him from afar and talks about how she wants to see him to tell him that she's a good girl and what she wants for Christmas. After last year, Lee put his foot down and refuses to take her to see Santa at the mall ever again, so this year we thought that we would try something different. Last week, we went to the Yankee Candle Factory, the location of Santa's workshop. We thought that seeing him in a low pressure situation might make things a little easier for Elizabeth. Boy, were we wrong - she started screaming and crying the second she laid eyes on him and didn't calm down until we were out of sight - to the point where people were giving us some really strange looks! Yet, as soon as it was "safe," she started telling anyone and everyone that she saw Santa, at his workshop, and on and on. More pictures from our visit here.
We took this video of the girls waiting for Santa - she seems to be excited, doesn't she?
This is about as close as Elizabeth got, cowering behind me.
Emily was all about turning on the charm....

No Santa in the world could say no to Emily. Just wait until she starts asking for $$$.
