I took Abby and Nathan to see Santa this week for their first time. Abby has been so excited all week and she's been telling me exactly what she is going to say and what Santa will say back to her and so on. So we went down to the mall and waited in line. She was so excited she could hardly contain herself. So we get up to Santa and she sits in his lap and says. . .NOTHING! He asked her what she would like for Christmas and she just stared down at the floor. Then he asked her if she would like some toys and she stared down at the floor but said "mmm-hmm". And then that was it, we couldn't get anymore out of her. Nathan, of course was so distracted by everything that we couldn't get him to look at the camera. Then after we left Abby says, "Mom, I want to go back and see Santa. I'm not gonna be shy now." Oh well, I guess we'll try again next year.
