A Visit with Santa

Last Friday, the kids got to see Santa Claus at the grocery store. We were one of the first ones there on a relatively slow day. There wasn't hardly a line because no one knew Santa was coming at 10:30 in the morning. It was really fun to see the kids' reactions. John didn't really want to talk to Santa as much as he wanted the candy cane at the end. He did get time to tell Santa Claus all about his Spider-Man hat.

Kelsey's always shy around new people and never really talks much (even when prompted).

And Bekah took one look at the white beard and did what most babies do. CRY!

Also, an update on our Bekah Mae Mae...she's walking now. It's the stiff legged walk but she's taking steps independent of objects. Her favorite thing to say is "Uhhh...", which is usually associated with raised arms. So, although her first word was "Daddy", she has since moved past that to "up!" She'll be ONE on Saturday. What a big girl!
