santa claus!

getting ready to go see Santa...everyone's happy!

in the car...Merit could barely contain herself. She kept saying, "Santa is going to be so excited to see me!"

waiting in line...Merit is still excited, August is starting to lose it.

Merit with her standard sweet "Santa smile" (see below), and August looking over at us with the saddest look she has ever given. It was really sad, but I LOVE this picture. When Merit sat down, she said, "Santa! You remember my name, don't you?!" He was a bit awkward. She then told him that she wanted a mermaid dress for Christmas, and he told her how important it is to be a big sister.
