I prefer the reindeer.

By all accounts, Santa is a pretty nice guy.  The wardrobe is a bit of a head-scratcher, but anybody whose entire life is dedicated to spreading Christmas cheer is OK in my book.  Unfortunately, Ava does not yet seem to agree.  Once again this year we bundled up and went to visit the big guy, and once again Ava acted like he was there to pick her pockets. 

Eventually she's going to figure out that he's the one leaving all those awesome presents under the tree.  Bet she'll sit on his lap then.

A visit to Santa may have been a bust, but the stuffed reindeer in the lobby were a huge hit. 

Prancer and Dancer there will have to fill Santa in on Ava's Christmas wishes this year.  Hopefully they wrote it all down.

Happy (almost) Holidays!
