Operation Visit Santa...

...was a huge SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!Can you believe NO TEARS??? From either of the littles!

I was sure Hudson would burst into tears as soon as he saw the jolly old fella, but nope, he just sat there like a pro staring at Santa's beard.

Maybe it helped a bit that we had two huge lollipop bribes props thanks to a sweet blogger friend who tipped me off that Target had some super fun big lollies in the loveliest shades of aqua blue/red and bubble gum pink/red. Thanks Amber Kor.!!!

Grace didn't want to talk to Santa...he, he, he...but she did manage a quick "I-really-would-like-a-Dora-house-puhleeeeaze" on the way out while clutching her little TaDa dollie tight to her chest, so I guess there's no way around the gigantic yellow house now! ;)

Can't wait to see the pictures! YayYayYayYayYay!
