Checking in with Santa, 2009

We had been looking forward to seeing Santa and talked about what we would say to him but when the time came, frankly, we found him quite frightening!

Dad tried to show us that Santa was harmless, the over-enthusiasm kind of killed it for us....

I wanted to crawl into a hole and hide! -Lucy

But wait, he had toys for brave kids, we dug deep for some courage....

Magic Christmas Bells!

Did we dare accept this offer from Santa?

We did, with a little help from Mom....

Every year we get a little braver, Merry Christmas!
