Santa Claus, Take 2

Yesterday was our annual 'Meet Santa Claus' day with the girls and Julia, of course. We always head out to Complexe Desjardins a little before noon and have lunch at Baton Rouge while Santa is also lunching. Here are the girls as they await their lunch impatiently.

By the time we returned to the 'North Pole', Santa was also back. Now, after Sunday's reaction to the big man, I did not think that this visit would be any better. But with Mommy and Cara-Li there to protect her from him, she tolerated a photo... but only one. Here it is.

We did, however, like the little stuffed bear that Santa was handing out.

While the older girls were enjoying themselves on the enormous inflatable slides and the house of mirrors, the mommies took turns browsing in the nearby shops. This is a mall afterall!

And as usual, it was ice cream and coffees and cookies for everyone before heading back home through traffic. Yuk!

All in all, a most wonderful day was had by all! See you again next year Santa Claus!
