Lia and I went out to see Santa and the Victorian Village at Ohio National tonight! It included a fun train for the kids to enjoy, hot chocolate, cookies, balloon elf artists, candy canes (note above), so many beautiful miniature buildings including a stall for a reindeer and a miniature post office where you can compose a letter to Santa!
We were treated to a group of carolers.
We waited 1 hour in the cold to see Santa. However, Lia would NOT get near Santa. I put her on my knee next to Santa and they completely stopped her fussing by ringing bells and pointing to the camera. It was very cute. Once AWAY from Santa (maybe 3 feet in my arms) she was able to ask Santa for what she wanted: "baa baa black sheep" after which Santa replied "have you any wool?". She was immediately happy knowing that he KNEW what book she loves and wants. We talked about this the whole way home. And she told me what she wanted "toys, milk time and bed time". I guess it was pretty late when we left!
Writing a letter to Santa on the way out of the Village!
When we got home she was very proud to pose for a picture of her holding her Santa photo! This one is a bit cuter than the Santa photo! ;)
