Visit with Santa and a baby boy

Elise missed our ward Christmas party and the opportunity to see Santa there, so yesterday we took her to a store to see Santa. Last year she cried and wouldn't even get close to him, let alone sit on his lap. This year, she did better. She didn't start screaming until she was actually on his lap. Needless to say, that picture did not turn out well. We were the 2nd to last people in line to see Santa before the store shut down the line for the night, so when Santa was done he came over to talk to us some more. He wanted to make sure that Elise would have a good memory of meeting Santa, so he talked with us for a bit and got her to smile at him and stand next to him, even if she wouldn't let her hold him. He even offered to let us skip the line if we wanted to try it again before Christmas. What a nice Santa!

In other news, we had our ultrasound last week and found out that we're expecting a little boy! We're quite excited. Everything looked normal and he was very wiggly--arms and hands everywhere! I'm due May 11th.
