Brooke's Visit to Santa

Brooke's daycare went to visit Santa at the mall. Brooke acted excited and in the car on the way she said she loved Santa and she wasn't scared and wasn't going to cry. Of course her prediction turned out to be false. Once her first fellow classmate started to cry it was all downhill for every child after. Brooke didn't even get close to him.

All is well before walking into the Santa section:




Daddy is coaching Brooke on what to do and say:

Sitting in the Santa enclosure and things are starting to get shaky.



All is NOT well. Got too close to Santa.



All is well again after leaving Santa.

Brooke cracks me up. When Ryan was coaching her, he said she is supposed to ask Santa for what she wants. So we asked her what she wants and she was being silly and said "a shotgun". Ryan and I both started laughing. I said, "Brooke, who really wants a shotgun" and she smiled and said "daddy"! She sure has her daddy figured out!
