Getting Ready for Christmas

I've avoided taking the girls to the mall to sit on Santa's lap in the past because I had a pretty good indication of how it would go. Both girls would cling to me and refuse to sit on Santa's lap. That's what happened for the past two years at our twins club Christmas party. I decided that they might finally be brave enough this year, so we tried it out when we were at the mall last weekend.

As usual, they both talked a good game saying that they would sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. Tannah wants a suitcase and a sleeping bag, and Harper wants a "silly puppy" and a suitcase and a sleeping bag. Harper said she would talk to Santa, but she wanted me to go too.

The girls got dressed up in their adorable Christmas plaid (apparently, I'm super into plaid this year).

Tannah jumped right up on Santa's chair and sat next to him. Harper wouldn't even sit on the side of my lap that was close to Santa. She told me what she wanted, and I relayed it to Santa.

Maybe next year:)
