Rachel Loves Santa

We went to a Christmas party last week, and Santa was there giving out gifts.  I was not sure what Rachel would think about him.  We have not gone to sit on Santa's lap since Leah was one.  She was always afraid of him and so we just quit going.  I figured Rachel would not like him either, since she has been slow to warm up to things that are new.  Just in the last year, Rachel has started recognizing Santa in pictures, and this month she started talking about Santa and Christmas.  When her name was called to go see Santa, she ran right up to him and gave him a huge hug.  I guess it is fair to say that she is okay with the jolly man in red!
