Since we were headed up to NY for the actual date of Christmas, Nana Santa came a little earlier than Santa this year. This was Mara’s first go at opening all her presents. No longer was the wrapping paper the main attraction. She actually didn’t pause very much between opening gifts either. As you can see though she is admiring several of them including the bracelet Nana gave her. She’s actually obsessed with it. She wants it on then off then on again, etc. you get the picture.
Later that afternoon, Santa was at our neighborhood club house so we took her in the wagon for a visit. We thought maybe since this was the third time she has seen him this year a little lap time with toy discussion would take place. You’ll see by the pictures no such thing happened. She was again very cautious about Santa and slightly frightened. When Nana and I mentioned he had treats for her she came out of her shell and approached him immediately so as not to be left out for her treat. She did cooperate enough to allow us to take a few pictures of her while standing in front of Santa. Next year I’ll bet she sit in his lap!
She also ended up eating a couple of treats they had just sitting around at the clubhouse like a Capri sun and cookies. Can you tell how much she loves them here?

She does appear to be warming up to the jolly old fella! I especially like the picture of her admiring her new piece of jewelry.
