No Fears = No Tears

With the exception of the parade,

we've had two encounters with Santa so far this year.

And both were amazing. 

Elliotte marches on up to him like he's an old friend.

Piper lags behind a little bit, 

but builds up the courage for a good chat

once she sees her happy-go-lucky little sister take the lead.

I was a proud mom,

but more importantly,

Piper was incredibly proud of herself!!

After our first chat with Santa, 

Elliotte walked away and exclaimed,

"Mommy! Santa talks!!!". 

Haha.

I guess she just thought he "ho ho ho's".

This first photo was a spur of the moment decision.
We didn't know Santa was going to be there,
so after the girls surprised me by being so brave,
I grabbed a very unexpected photo op and took advantage!

This one was more planned.
The girls got to have a lovely chat with Santa
and were SO happy about that.
