If you have been following along on our Facebook page, we had a contest to WIN this Laugh & Learn™ Dance & Play Puppy!
I am a huge fan of Christmas everything! and wanted to hear about your little one’s experiences with Santa.
You told us stories of your little one’s in awe of Santa’s beard to being scared of his beard, just straight out confused and in shock, terrified, happy, excited and of course moms that had to sit with Santa too!
There are too many great stories to choose a favorite one, but this one made me laugh out loud:
“The whole time we were in line, my 2.5 year old daughter was very excited and intrigued by Santa. My 7 month old son was probably just wondering why he wasn’t getting his nap. When we got to our tun, my daughter lost it and ran away from Santa. My husband placed our son on Santa’s lap and he immediately started crying. I grabbed my daughter to coax her towards Santa, but ended up sitting beside Santa with my daughter in a bear hug! Santa and I look fabulous… the kids not so much!”
This is my 3 year old daughter on the right (my 18 month old son is sitting on his other knee but didn’t seem to know what was going on)! Last year she was the one crying and refusing to go see Santa for a picture so I was holding her in the picture, this year she loved him!
The picture on the left is little Cohen, obviously not a fan of the big man in red, but what makes me laugh every time I see this picture is the look on Santa’s face!!
Anyways, I am sure you are all waiting for me to announce the winner of this contest, so here it is:

Here is Suzy’s Santa’s experience: ” Not so great. We stood in the mall and he waved at Harper and she smiled. So we decided to get a photo…. Sat her on his lap and all hell broke loose.”
Congratulations! I hope Harper enjoys her dancing puppy!
