Oh the joys and magic of visiting Santa with the Reds... the mall wasn't crowded at all... Riley was teething but still in a good mood and Miss Julia was soooo excited... where were the reindeer she wanted to know?

When their turn came, they both tried to chicken out...

... but Julia overcame her shyness so she could ask Santa for her hearts desire....

A REINDEER ! She tried to coax Riley to talk to Santa, too....

But Riley was very, very shy....

But finally she loosened up enough to ask Santa for a Baby Doll !

Both girls very politely told Santa "Thank you"... they were soooo sweet....

... and then we went to the carousel....

... and on the second ride they Reds got to ride their Reindeers, oh, they were sooo happy....

And then we went to eat, found two adorable Christmas dresses and played on the mall playground... but my battery went dead so you'll just have to take my word for the rest of it.....

Take me home, please
