Addie headed out with Mom and Dad and Grammy to meet Santa in the Hill Country. She was big talk while waiting in line, throwing around phrases like “Ho Ho!” and “danda” (Santa). It wasn’t until we got up close that her true colors came out. She was not excited at all about sitting on this old man’s lap. Had she had a little more time she might have eased into a more friendly encounter with him, but the snotty-nosed kids behind us were chomping at the bit so Addie left distressed that the big guy wasn’t as friendly as she talked him up to be. Maybe next year.
