Early Visit with Santa Claus

We took Lucy to Everything But the Kitchen Sink because Santa made an early visit to Hockessin. We thought this would be a good opportunity without a big crowd for her to get used to the idea of the jolly guy with the sleigh, especially before we go to our breakfast with Santa next month. Lucy was a bit shy, but with some coaxing, and two packages of holiday silly bands, she finally ventured up to to the sleigh and held Santa's hand. Mind you, she wouldn't climb in, but I think this is pretty good for a brave little girl. She didn't tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas, but did find a classic horse on a stick in the toy area of the store that she has fallen in love with. She plans to tell her elf, Ellie, all about it when she returns to our house this year!
