Dear Santa...

Brad and I will laugh for years to come about Joy's first picture with Santa. Maybe we waited too long as she is almost 3 years old. But the hysterical crying, flailing and the huge scene she made has made us laugh more than we've laughed in a long time. The whole mall was staring. At least we gave Santa some entertainment in his boring job.  Simon was cool as a cucumber. When Joy has decided she doesn't want to do something there is no amount of convincing / bribing I can do to get her to do it. 

While Joy doesn't like Santa she does love Christmas cookies. She had a great time at our annual cookie decorating/ exchange party. Simon went to visit Daddy at work while mommy and joy did the cookie thing. Next year he can join the sugar rush!
