<p>After we had our dinner, we walked around and the Little Girl saw Santa, she run yo him, hugged him and jumped to sit on his laps for picture! It was her first time seeing Santa and she was super excited! Unlike the Big Girl, she was hiding behind the rocking chair that was behind me when I took some pictures. We talked and tried to comfort her heart but she still said No to Santa&#8230; Oh Well&#8230; May be next year <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
