Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!

Looks like Santa's a no-go

We were at the Jordan Creek shopping center in Des Moines last weekend and thought we'd give Marley one more opportunity to tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas.  Just as suspected, Santa's a no-go.  It's funny, she likes to talk about Santa, Ho-Ho-Ho like Santa, and find all the Santa decorations on our tree but once she hits that knee, LOOK OUT!  This was one of those arched-back, feet/arm-flailing, head-banging fits.  She wasn't on his knee long enough for the photographer to get a pic.  Luckily we were able to snap a quick, albeit blurry photo before Santa gave her up.  Judging by Santa's expression, I don't think this was the first fit he had seen that day.  LOL!



It works!!!
