We had a wonderful visit with Santa at Phipp's Plaza today. Mary Catherine wasn't scared of him and climbed up into his lap without reservation. Of course, as she doesn't watch commercial television - she actually doesn't know what toys are out there to want, so when you ask her what she wants for Christmas, she has no idea! Today she told Santa that she wanted a cake. Thankfully, my mom just made her one to open tomorrow. A big pink cake with a Barbie on it.
On the way home this evening. Mary Catherine told me that she had just one Christmas wish. Her wish? She wants to be a Christmas elf and help Santa deliver presents. Uh - I'm still not sure how to make that one come true! She kept telling me that she hoped it would come true and then burst into tears telling me that it wasn't going to happen. Poor thing - she's so jet lagged and tired.
Speaking of tired - I'm going to bed. Not only is it Christmas Eve and the good child in me knows that I have to go to bed.. but I'm also the mother of a four year-old who was up from 3am until 7:30pm with no nap. I'm exhausted.
