A jolly visit to the jolly St. Nick

I promise that there was no photoshopping done to alter this picture. She really is smiling and sitting on Santa's lap.

Here is Ava chatting it up with Santa. I think I might of even heard a few giggles coming from Ava. Wow. What a difference a year makes. (For those of you who don't remember Ava's previous visits with Santa, click here)

Ava made huge strides this year, but Reid was a different story. He regressed. He didn't even want to look at Santa's general direction. We decided to not force him to sit on Santa's lap this year. Mostly because there were little kids behind us in line that were also a little nervous to see Mr. Claus. I just thought a child screaming at the top of his lungs would not help to calm their nerves.
