Today, Niva had her first taste of Santa Claus...and she had no idea what was going on! We went to a Santa Storytime at Ghost-town Mall (aka Highland Mall) with Aunt Steph, Aunt Amanda, and Cousin Brian (who have now moved to Austin!). We practiced our ho-ho-ho'ing on the way down there which Niva was really good at. However, I had a hard time explaining who Santa Claus is besides saying, "He's this jolly old man with a long white beard who brings good kids presents." Is there a less shallow explanation of Santa Claus that anyone would like to share with me? I am paranoid about Niva growing up with a sense that she is entitled to receive presents (visions of the brat from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory dance through my head-- blech!). Am I being Grinchy??
(The quality of the pix are not so great since I only had my phone on me. By the way, they were selling professional Santa pictures too...2 5x7's for $20?!?!?! For the birds!)

| Auntie Steph, please just give me a hug and a smooch for Christmas...thanks! |

| They handed out jingle ball necklaces and Niva loved hiding it under her neck...what a weird kid! |
