First encounter with Santa

The children had their first encounter with Santa this season---as you can see from the pictures, it went pretty well for Grayson, but Emma Claire was another story. :) We really talked Santa up to Grayson on the way there, and although he was initially afraid he eventually mustered up some courage and was brave enough to approach Santa and yell, "I want a kitchen!". Emma Claire pretty much hated him, but she doesn't like many people besides her mama these days, so it was to be expected. :)
