Sitting with Santa

And even smiling about it!

On a whim, we decided we needed to go to the mall before leaving from our Gigi and Poppy visit in the big D. We had no intention of visiting Santa because we had already seen him a few times this season and Ava just wasn't interested. Santa happened to look upstairs and saw Ava at one mall and waved and blew a kiss and she was on cloud nine!

So on this particular morning, we coincidentally ran into Santa's Workshop. She grabbed Daddy and said, "C'mon, let's go see Santa". We followed along right beside her and she didn't even blink, just walked right up to him, sat on his lap and told him what she wanted for Christmas. He was a great Santa too. They took lots of pictures for us and we narrowed it down to this one.
