We met some friends in Old Town on Friday night for the Christmas tree lighting and arrival of Santa Claus...and despite my apprehension, it was a success! The last 2 years have been a disaster when it came to introducing Lauren to Santa Claus's lap...some of you might remember from the last Ward Christmas Party--the 2 year old literally climbing to the top of my head to get as far away as possible from the big red man. It was the same the year before that when she was 18 months. But not Friday night! You should have seen this kid's eyes when she spotted Santa clear up on a balcony above the Laemmle Theater, and then he descended and walked right by her...she even touched his arm! We stopped in at Johnny Rockets for milk shakes and hot chocolate (notice the irony) and Lauren kept wanting to be picked up so that she could see over the throngs of people to catch a glimpse of her new friend...that was enough to get me in the holiday mood...let the season begin!
