Santa at the Horse Parade

Last weekend we went to the Horse Parade. It was a crowded night filled with lots of horses, lights and hot chocolate. Most of the churches along the parade route pass out hot chocolate and allow people to use the bathroom. Well, soon after the parade started Elliana needed to go. So we walked into the church and started to take off her many layers of clothing. Elliana turned to see Santa sitting on a pew. She did not say anything to him, but headed to take care of business. When she was just about done she ask if she could sit on Santa's lap. I said she needed to ask him that. So we walked back out to where Santa was sitting. She walked right up to touch his knee, looked up into his eyes and said, "Can I sit on your lap?" It was so sweet! He then pulled her up and began asking her questions. The whole thing was so cute! Then we put back on all our layers and headed back to see more horses.
