Santa Visit and Parade

I'm a little late in making this post as we visited Santa a while back but I now have all the pictures back and time to make the post.

We thought we should explain the whole Santa thing and what was going to happen when we visited Santa - we explained that she would sit on Santa's knee and he would ask her what she wanted for Christmas - Sarah was very quick to decide what she wanted for Christmas - here is a short video of the final practise session before we left to visit Santa.

Kitty was all cleaned and ready to go as well - we decided to go on a Friday morning thinking that it wouldn't be busy and we got lucky - we went to the 5 Points mall and there was only one other family there. They were really good as they let us go up for a practise visit to see how Sarah would do - she wasn't to keen to sit on his knee but was willing to sit on the arm of the chair beside Santa - Santa said we could try for a picture and he would just lean in - well as soon as the camera was up and ready to go our little model was all smiles. I think they got a good picture.After the Santa visit we went out for breakfast - Sarah really enjoyed herself and was really excited about the candy cane she got.That Saturday was the Whitby Santa Clause Parade - it was cold that day so we all had to bundle up. Grandma and Papa joined us on this cold day. My camera was acting up so I only got a couple of pictures.Sarah seemed to enjoy the parade but wasn't that interested in the marching bands although she liked the music - what she always pointed out was all the cars that were in the parade. Our little Sarah does love her cars.
