Saint Nicolas

I've been trying to get Amelia excited about Christmas and move on from Halloween and Thanksgiving.  She had fun with turkeys but still could not forget about the pumpkins.  So I've been pointing out Christmas trees, lights and Santas wherever we go.  While she loves these new things she still can't forget about those pumpkins.

Saint Nicolas visited our church one Sunday and I thought it would be a prime opportunity for Amelia to familiarize herself with the idea of sitting on someone's lap.

Yeah, she wasn't having any of it.  She didn't cry but kept this annoyed look on her face the whole time.  When we got in the car she kept saying, "Thank you Santa!" because she got a small bag with hay in it.  The funny thing is she had no idea what it was but was excited because Santa gave it to her.
