Kya got to meet Santa this week at our local mall. She was so excited to see Santa it just melted my heart. I'm not sure what has her so excited about Santa but I know it has nothing to do with gifts (she was far too young to understand a Santa visit last year and we have not talked about the gift thing yet). Anyway, as you can see, she and Santa are good friends already.
Having a toddler around for the holidays gives me a new appreciation of the season and adds a heaping dose of wonder and love to Christmas. How did we live before Kya arrived?
Also at the mall is a new train that circles in entire interior of the mall corridor. For a couple dollars per person, you can ride on the train. This is 'way cool' if you are 20 months old or if you are someone named Grandma Don.
Kya has watched "The Polar Express" and was an old pro with the ticket stamping routine.
All Aboard!
She was a little nervous as they departed ...
But as they returned, she was all smiles.
The conductor gave Kya a DumDum for being a good passenger on the train.
So here is Kya thoroughly enjoying her first lollipop.

This week we also had a family caravan driving tour of the Bismarck-Mandan light displays.
The temperatures have been unusually warm so we took a walking break at this house.
Unfortunately light tours are a little past Kya's bedtime. Here she is reminding us of this.
Oh how I love my little elfkin.

Merry Christmas!
