Visiting Santa

We took the girls into the city to visit Santa at David Jones (as we've done with Kira the last 2 years). We had to wait in line for about 1.5 hours - the girls started getting fidgitty in the last half hour. Erika was easy enough to calm (a breastfeed and a cuddle did the trick!), but Kira did not want to stand still, or sit still, or be held for long...it took a lot of coaxing to get her to be patient, and not cry (not good for photo's, and Santa wouldn't be impressed!). Finally, our time came, and Kira was so pleased to see Santa. She had no trouble sitting on his knee, though wasn't too sure what sort of things she should ask him for. Erika wasn't too sure about the whole thing, and it wasn't long before she started to cry (but she does this whenever she's held by someone that's not Mummy!). This was the first, and best, photo taken:




(The kids had to wear cardi's as it was sooo cold in Santa's ice cave! Just kidding - it was unseasonally cool that day, and it was about 5pm in the evening.)
