A Visit with Santa

Over the weekend, we went to the mall to see Santa so the girls could tell him what they wanted for Christmas.  Of course, you can't take your own pictures, you have to buy their overly priced pictures.  However; a picture was taken covertly of Grace and Santa.

Anna decided she didn't want to sit on his lap, but she did tell him what she wanted for Christmas.

We also had an Elf on the Shelf arrive at our house over the weekend.  The girls named him Manny.  Each morning it's a game to find where he sat himself down after reporting to Santa while they slept.  So far he has been pretty good and hid in the curtains, on the tree, and from the ceiling fan pull cord.  But one night he got a little mischievous and squirted some toothpaste on the bathroom counter and put some of the stuff on the counter in the sink.
