Santa Visits Vinita Park!

In the last two days Laine has had two chances to see Santa, sit on his lap, and get a little gift from him.  At the beginning of this Christmas season she didn't know who Santa was, even if he walked past her in the mall!  But now she is well aware of who this festive man is, and she gets excited to see him around town. 
  

Saturday morning Laine and I went to Breakfast with Santa at city hall.  There was an animal balloon artist there, and he made this terrific Elmo balloon for Laine.  He also made me a pregnant poodle, complete with baby inside, though it's a little hard to tell here!


This afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Claus came around Gulf Drive in their horse-drawn carriage.  We whisked Laine outside for just a moment to quickly say hi and look at the horse up close.  It was a very brisk 13 degrees out today!
