Santa

Yesterday we took Emily to see Santa for the first time. We stood in a queue surrounded by moving polar bears, reindeer and images of Santa. All the time we were waiting Emily was really excited, stroking the animals and talking about meeting Santa. But when our turn came and the curtain went back Emily totally freaked out and started to cry. She wouldn't let go of us and wouldn't go anywhere near the man in the red suit with the big furry beard! She wouldn't even look at him.

Somehow we managed to get this photo (even if I do look a bit strange!), Emily got her present and left reasonably happy. Since then she has said she really liked Santa and she LOVES her new toy - which is a pull along train, a bit too young for her, but she has been playing non-stop with it ever since.
