I think this Santa was the real deal...

Today Annabel's class took a field trip to see Santa at our local mall. Annabel was the first one in her class to have her picture with Santa. I think Santa knew she was something special because he let us take about a zillion pictures of her with him before their photographer snapped theirs. I am not sure I have ever seen a sweeter Santa. There are many more with him just looking and smiling right into her sweet eyes. Upon giving Annabel back to us he was wiping a tear from his eye. He then replied "she is such a precious little girl." Yes, I do think in that very short time she stole Santa's heart.
