This weekend we visited Santa Claus at the Midland Santa House. Ella cried when she saw him. She was terrified. Santa didn't care - he said, "Santa loves you anyway and is going to bring you something really nice..." We were able to get a picture, but only with Santa standing behind us where she couldn't see him. The Santa House was wonderful. Ella is a big girl now and is walking everywhere! Now we have a problem. Everywhere that we go (e.g. grocery store, mall, etc) she wants to get down and walk. If we won't let her, she throws a full body tantrum. I have a feeling that holiday travel through the airport is going to be a little more challenging than in the past..... We are enjoying the holiday season. Ella loves the Christmas tree and Christmas music. We made sugar cookies today. She shook sprinkles all over the floor and loved the cookies!
