Santa came to Fort Polk!

The housing center has lots of fun free events all year long. For Christmas they have pictures with Santa. We got there about 30min early and about 10min before the big kids would get off the bus and ended up being 8th in line. Eli had lots of fun while we waited in line. She watched all the other kids run around and smiled at all the elves, Mrs. Clause, Frosty, Rudolf, even the Grinch. And everyone loved her. She got some reindeer ears and a candy necklace from the elves. I was a little nervous that she wouldn't like Santa and we would have a screaming child Santa pic, but I should have known better. Eliana looked at Santa for a second and he held out his arms and she went right to him. He was wearing glasses and she planned on eating them. They got a great picture and Eliana got a candy cane. They had crafts and treats available for after, but we just talked with friends for a bit and then our picture was ready. P.S. Thanks Aunt Becky, everyone said the dress was adorable!

She was too busy watching Frosty to look at Mom.

Waiting for Santa

Merry Christmas!
