We made it up to Santa Rosa mall to do a little Christmas shopping and visit to Santa. Gaby was very excited and proceeded to tell us on the elevator ride down what she was going to ask Santa for. Barbies, markers, play-doh, dollies (Polly Pockets) all made the list this year. Unfortunately, it took one look at Santa close up and it was over. As we approached Santa, she became stuck like glue to daddy. We had hope in Natalia to lead the way as she was smiling ear to ear with Santa. But once upon his lap, Natalia also took a turn for the worse, and she began to cry. At least she made it to Santa's lap.
Gaby did made an effort to speak to the big man from a distance, repeating what I said while keeping a sharp eye on the man with the red suit. Once he offered her a candy cane, we were in good shape and she skipped away reciting her list once more.
She never did make it to Santa's lap. Maybe we'll try again in the weeks to come before Christmas.
