Santa Claus is coming to town

Saturday we had our ward Christmas party. It was a delicious dinner and after all the music and everything was over Santa Claus came. I pointed him out to Rachel and she was in awe.

I asked her if she wanted to go see Santa, and she said yes, so we went to wait for her turn. A few weeks ago we were at the store, checking out, and Rachel saw a plastic M&M with reindeer antlers and wanted to get it. I told her that we couldn't get it right now, but if she was a good girl, maybe Santa would bring it to her. Since then every time I ask her what Santa is going to bring her she says, "M&Ms." As we were waiting I asked again what Santa was going to give her and she said "M&Ms" and I told her maybe on Christmas, but right now Santa is giving out candy canes. As we got a little closer and she could actually see Santa she changed her mind about wanting to see him. Even when I asked her, "Is Santa going to give you a candy cane?" (which is her FAVORITE treat these days), she said no. When it was her turn, this is how the first time meeting Santa went:

At least she got her candy cane. :)
