Well it was that time I'd been waiting for all season long. Time for Andrea to meet Santa! Each year the Army Depot holds a meet and greet with Santa that includes a lot of great giveaways. I had heard other employees talk about taking their kids or grandkids in the past so I was excited to go this year. I was a little worried about Andrea's reaction, but she did very well. She seemed very interested in Santa and Mrs. Clause (what is her first name anyway?) and was in no hurry to come back to Mama. 
With the weather being unpredictable lately I was worried that Ryan may not be able to come with us and miss out on her first Santa visit. But luckily the snow stayed away ,and he was there. I wanted to take a picture to prove that Daddy always likes to be a part of things. 
Not only did Andrea get the creepy stuffed Santa you see in the photo, she also received a bag full of toys and goodies. Plus Ryan and I grabbed some cookies before we left. So I would say it was a pretty successful milestone!

I really do love my job and co-workers, but things at the credit union will be changing anyway, so I figured it was a good time to break away. In a way I feel like I am giving up my last bit of independence, but I guess that is what motherhood is all about. However, I am looking forward to getting a set schedule going with Andrea and I think after a while I'll get used to this staying at home full time thing.

You can still get out of the house, you know. Come over to mine.
Also, Mrs. Claus's first name is Kandee, and she used to be a stripper. But it's hush hush, so... you know, don't tell anyone.
So I asked you on facebook whether or not Andrea cried about Santa before I read your blog. :) I'm glad she enjoyed it. Christmas is so much fun when you have a kid.
Thanks for the Christmas card. It was so cute.
Merry Christmas!
you can do the stay at home mom thing! I don't miss it at all.
Hope things are going well. Merry Christmas!
I'm so impressed with how well she did with Santa! Somewhere we have a picture of Peyton just yelling on Santa's lap. I remember feeling really strange when I was quitting my job just before Peyton was born, because I'd been working for 10 years at that point. Hey, there are just somedays that you need to stay in your pj's until noon. Now you can, right? :)
