Wow, he's even older than Daddy!

Katie met Santa yesterday. It was kinda a fluke -- we were Christmas shopping at the mall and I realized that there was almost no line to see Santa. So of course I couldn't miss the photo op. Katie couldn't stop staring at Santa's face and beard. I'm sure she had NO idea what was going on.







I actually haven't even decided if I'm going to do the Santa tradition with Katie -- why should Santa get the credit for giving her gifts if he hasn't actually done anything for her? And I don't just mean that John & I should get the credit. I want Katie to know that the Giver of all good gifts is the Lord Jesus. And with that line of thinking, Santa seems like an idol to me. I don't know. Check in with me in 3 years and see if I'm still holding to that line of thinking. :-)


Oh, and if anyone knows where I can get a cheap but professional photo sitting, please let me know. Katie's baptism dress is gorgeous (thanks to my mother-in-law!) and I want to get some nice photos of her in it.
