This is the first year that Peanut has cared about Santa. Last week we went to the tree lighting ceremony for our city and part of that was getting to sit on Santa’s lap. The whole time, Peanut was telling me in line that she was going to ask Santa for a puppy (SO not happening, but that’s beside the point), then she saw he had candy canes that he was giving all the kids, so she asked for one of those instead. It was also her first experience with a candy cane (and she didn’t like it because it was mint flavored). Now that I’m done with the not-so-wordless part, here’s the pictures!

Waiting in line.

It's almost our turn!

I'd like to say this face is excited, but I think it's just being silly.

She seems to think this "Santa" character is mighty sketchy.

Smiles!
