Fun at Crown Center

We sure had lots of fun in a really short time today when we killed about 30 minutes at Crown Center!  We saw lots of great Christmas stuff (gingerbread village, decorations, countdown to Christmas) and even got to shop in the Hallmark store to pick out my yearly Christmas ornament.  This year I picked out my elf of the shelf "Cogsworth" ornament...so cool!

Conversation with Santa...

 Today we went to see Santa!  I love seeing Santa each year and telling him what I want for Christmas!

This year I wanted to tell Santa that I wanted a present that is not already on my list, because someone else might already be getting it for me.  So, I wracked my brain on some good ideas.  I decided I was going to tell him I wanted toys from the movie Frozen.  Only problem was that I was not sure how to say it.  I practice different ways to say it, but I always forgot Elsa, one of the toys I want. 

When it was my turn to meet Santa, I got a bit shy and wanted mom to walk me up to him.  I sat on his lap and we took a few pictures.  Then he asked me what I wanted and I totally forgot.....here are some pictures of the conversation with voice over...

Santa: "Kate, what do you want for Christmas?"

Me:  "ummmmmm.....well....."

Me: "I forgot....ummm" (looking at mom and dad for assistance)

Me: "hmm..." (thinking really hard)

Santa: "You forgot?  I bet you can remember something on that list of yours"

Me: "I don't know why I forgot..."

Me: "Oh yeah, Frozen toys.  And an American Girl doll." (thanks for reminding me mom and dad...yikes)

Santa: "Very good Kate, I will see what I can do"

Me: relief!

Love,
Kate
