This morning, we went to Pancakes with Santa at a local hotel. We have never been before and Marley had never met a Santa, so I was crossing my finger that the pancakes and most of all Santa would be fabulous!
It turned out the breakfast was actually really great. We don't usually go out to breakfast because I really can't stand IHOP. But this breakfast was great! They even had little cups of marshmallows and sprinkles on the table to go in hot cocoa for the kids!
And then we waited patiently in line to see Santa! Marley was so excited. She is normally very shy with strangers and in new situations. But, she kept squealing and smiling and saying, "There he is!" She told me that she would tell him that she had missed him all year. So, I was thinking that it might actually go well. She might actually talk to him!
But, I was wrong! She froze. Her hands went in her mouth. She wasn't even acknowledging him.
Luckily, this Santa is probably a grandpa, so he knew how to talk to her and how to handle it. He just kept asking her questions until she finally had to answer!
And by the end of it, she was happy! She wasn't extremely talkative, but she was happy to be with Santa!
Vivi did great, also! She didn't scream at all! She just looked around happily, like normal for her. Happy as could be.
And really wanting to play with Marley's hat!
