Yesterday was quite the adventure. We left the house just after 11am to go see Santa at Shannon Mall. We've taken our pictures with him for two years in a row at Shannon. I knew the mall was really suffering for business last year, but was surprised to find that Santa was not there. So we pulled up the Arbor Place Mall on the Garmin and headed to Douglasville. It was a beautiful day and the mall was so crowded you could barely move. We waited in line to take pictures with Santa for over an hour. Sabrina wanted to tell Santa that she wanted a dollhouse for Christmas. Samanatha wanted to ask Santa for a "Batman Telephone." They were all smiles, until Santa said: "Well hello girls." Samantha immediately dropped to the floor and pushed away from him. Beanie saw Sam's reaction and started to cry. I had to sit down with both of them in order to calm them down. You can tell that neither of them was really happy to be there. Samantha was still trying to get away. I still bought the pictures and then we had Icee's and rode the Christmas train. Destiny did not get to tell Santa what she wanted in all of the commotion. She wants a laptop or a dollhouse.
