Ho, Ho, ... NO

Santa (the same retired teacher from DCHS, who was also my teacher) came to visit again. Before I spent money on a "Santa" outfit, I thought we would attempt the free photo opp at school to see if Kate would have a successful Santa sitting. I was right...it was money I didn't need to spend as she was NOT into Santa. I even tried sitting on a stool without the close proximity. She would not have it.
She did, however, like the cookies, candy canes, lemonade, and Hershey's kisses that were there for the kids. She also liked that Daddy was there. (It was also her "real" birthday).
Another (sad) attempt at a family picture. I have no idea why Matt is scrunched how for the picture. Kate wanted her lemonade and was struggling to pull it away. After this, Kate lost it and Matt took her out to watch the dance team. Some of my students are on it and they began dancing with Kate during a break. She said, "bye, mama" and went into the middle of 20 high school girls without a second thought. They were clapping and she was dancing with them. "Bye, dance" was said the whole way home. She has her priorities straight!
