Meeting the Big Guy

Rather than brave the hour plus line at the mall, we decided to meet Santa Claus on base at the Navy Exchange. There was no line and the girls received lots of one on one time with the man in red. They both loved sitting with Santa and although we didn't get a smile from Emma, she also didn't cry. Considering she has pretty bad stranger anxiety these days, we thought she did well. She was very interested in Santa's glasses and beard. Lily was a little shy at first, but then she chatted away about "kitty" (she's in Lily's hand in the pic) and what she wanted for Christmas.
