Last night we took the kids and my mom out on a Christmas adventure. We first stopped at our church for the live nativity. Nicole had no fear of the animals and, in fact, was very eager to let the goats eat cornmeal out of her hand.
After that the next stop was to a private residence near my grade school. My mom's bank customer put out 160,000 lights (all very tastefully done I might add) and the wife and next door neighbor dress up as Santa and Mrs. Claus and stand in the driveway for an hour and a half EVERY night for the children to wave to/visit. While Nicole did see Santa in the mall she was very shy and would only give him high-five and whisper that she wanted a "purple backpack" (like Dora). Here she was all about Santa and let him hold her and gave kisses.
I love people who are so nice and do things just because.

I love the pic!! Chris is getting sooo big!
Nicole is probably just shy in situations that are more uncomfortable, like at the mall, it was probably overwhelming. While Santa and Mrs. Claus in front of their house is a lot more comfortable of a situation. I'm glad she is happy to be around animals. That is good!! :)
Chris's outfit is adorable! He looks like the abominable snowman (or starfish) but in a good way!! (or, good for baby way).
How cool! Santa would be way less intimidating outdoors and away from the crowds like that.
So cute!!
