Just in case my last post makes you think that I'm about to lose it...
Violet has actually been very good lately (during hours when she isn't supposed to be sleeping). She loves everything about the Christmas season and I'm thrilled to be sharing it with her this year.
Oh, and I may have forgotten to mention that Brandon did get an internship lined up for next summer. And as if a job offer weren't enough, his company sent us a "holiday package" with a bunch of treats in it. Just for kicks. It's like they knew he had a pregnant wife and a toddler to eat them all.
On Saturday I went to the nutcracker with Mom and the Peterson girls. It was beautiful, as usual. During intermission I took a picture of Santa on this giant gingerbread house they had out in the lobby. I showed Violet and she loved it, but I think she expected Santa to be small and plastic when we took her to meet him last night.
Alas, he was large and human. Here's how meeting him went over:
Didn't catch that? Let's get a close-up of that face:
It was actually a funny story. As soon as she saw him, she made it clear that she didn't want to be near him. Brandon walked her up to him and he gave her some candy. She was ok with that. But when Brandon tried to sit her on his lap, she thought "Is this the price I have to pay for getting candy? I don't think so!" and she threw the candy (quite forcefully) back at Santa and screamed, NOOOO!!! MOMMY!!!!!!
"You can have your stupid candy back, Santa, just don't touch me!"

I guess we don't have to worry about her being lured into the back of vans by candy
love that face!
Think of it from Violet's perspective.....Her mom tosses her on some big man's lap dressed in a funny red costume, with hair all over his face, and she's suppose to like it? I'm with Violet...
