Our plan was to take them to Bass Proshop like we have done the last couple of years.
We were hoping that if we went on a Wednesday at 4:30 it wouldn't be too bad.
We got there and it didn't look too busy, we went to get in line and the elf handed us a ticket that stated we could come back to get in line at 7:30!!!!
Uummm- no thanks!
I convinced Caleb to try the mall and we happened to park at exactly the right entrance, walked in and there was only 3 people ahead of us!
Booyah!
And then Marshall didn't even cry!
Mia acted a bit apprehensive at first, but she put her brave face on and did it!
Santa made a special point of telling me how he was so pleased that Mia said "I would like..." rather then just jump in with I want or Give me. He said that she was only the 3rd child that had been polite this year. That is really a sad statement about our community. But I was very proud of my girl! She is so sweet and polite. Keep it up angel baby!
We went out to eat and were home by 7:15!
Take that Bass Proshop!
We adults forget at times how intimidating a "Santa" in real life can be to children. Glad it all worked out and you got a wonderful keepsake xmas photo for your memory book. Love it! xoxoxox
