Santa's Grotto.

Dear Santa, 

This year EV would like a crown for Christmas please. 

Thanks. 

PS, she has been a good girl.

After putting up our Xmas tree (kind of early as I don't want to be decorating for Xmas while in labour) on Saturday EV wrote a brief letter to Santa with a drawing of the crown she would like.

Yesterday Neenee and I took her to see Santa but she was too shy to give the letter to him. EV loved visiting the grotto again and was very serious while we waited at the door to see Santa.

Santa was so kind and jolly and thought he might have a crown for a princess, so EV is pretty happy, not that you can tell from the photo. Visiting Santa is still a bit overwhelming.

This mama is happy at least a crown is easier to wrap than a hula hoop. Long may the simple Santa gift requests reign!
