Santa: Not a fan

Well, Mattie got to meet the big man in red last week. Let's just say she's not a fan! It was so cute, though. Secretly I kind of wanted the 'sad Santa' photo - and we got some good ones!

We visited the Gamma Phi Beta house because they were hosting a Santa meet-and-greet. Mattie was wary of him from the beginning. But, she LOVED all the sorority girls. She was running around the place smiling and laughing - until she spotted Santa. She kept trying to hide from him. They had cookies so that made the deal better for her.

She has really been into the tree and gets excited when she sees it lit up. She likes to take 'her' ornaments on and off and show us. Her favorite is the ceramic Minnie Mouse ornament. She will grab it and squeal "Miiiinnniiiiieeee!" then carry it around for a while. Just adorable.

We finally have some wrapped presents under the tree and she's been good at staying out of them so far. We'll see how long that lasts.

Overall, our Christmas season has been wonderful so far and we hope your family is having fun making preparations. We are blessed beyond measure and are so thankful for God's faithfulness.
