Santa Claus and Lipstickidy :)

We had our Christmas parade last night so me, Nana, and Allie went! Heath had to work but I still wanted her to get to go! She had a lot of fun and screamed and laughed at the fireworks to kick off the parade. We got there a little early and walked over to Krystal's to get some food and then went and sat up our chairs for the parade! We had fun but is was COLD!

So pre-baby days I used to think about how fun it would be to dress my little girl up and take her to see Santa and watch her tell him what she wanted for Christmas and it was such a sweet special day....HAHAHA! My sweet Allie Kate has been to see Santa 3 times now (even though she is only 2) and it has never been special or great...partially because she is terrified of him!

 Her first Christmas she was only 2 mos old so she slept the whole time, last year she had just turned one and she was scared of him and clinged onto me like a spider monkey so I had to be in the picture and she STILL cried, but this year tops them all.....she SCREAMED! She was very excited to see him she screamed "Santa!!!" when she saw him and the little elf even told me that that was the best reaction he had seen yet. We even talked about what she was going to tell Santa to bring her and she told me and Julie (she came this year and last year) that she wanted us to clap for her...but when I walked towards him she flipped out and pulled her spider monkey moves :)

This is waiting in line to see Santa

So I was in the picture again this year and she screamed the entire time, and even when we were trying to pay she still screamed because she could see him so Julie had to walk with her! And then bless her heart the whole time we were in the mall after that she would say "Allie Kate not go see Santa later" I think she thought I was going to make her go back and see Santa!!

Brynnen was supposed to be going to see Santa with us but they go there after us and I thought is would not be good to torture Allie anymore by making her stand there in line to see her favorite person :) I wonder how she did??

So we went and shopped around and ate lunch with Ju and rode the carousel and by the way she wore big girl panties to the mall and didn't have an accident!!! YAY Allie Kate!!

 BUT I will say she really does like Santa when he isn't real (the idea of Santa I guess you would say)...In fact she LOVES this Santa :)

On another note...Allie Kate wanted to wear some of my "liptickidy" yesterday after she woke up from her nap...red is really her color :)

This is when she realized it was red and getting all over her!

This is when I tried to take it away she acted like she was going to eat it!

This girl is my world :)
