Here Comes Santa Claus

With the Xmas spirit overflowing at the Bardolf household these days, and Audrey quickly learning lots of carols, we decided to take the kids to the mall see Santa. We were both pretty anxious to see their reactions. Since Audrey has had her list of things to ask Santa for together for a while now (legos and a train set)we had a good idea that she would enjoy the visit, but we weren't too sure about Brennan. Well, they both really enjoyed the line to visit Santa, consisting of a man-made winter wonderland complete with ice, snow and the whole nine yards. Brennan even learned to make his first snow angels. When it came to the visit with Santa, we made sure Audrey knew that Brennan might be a little scared and that he might feel better if he held her hand. She hopped up on his lap with no problem, but Brennan was a little more hesitant. To put it lightly. If history is any indication, it's unlikely that he's scarred for life, but you wouldn't know it by his reaction. It's nice to see that Audrey isn't phased at all.
