First meeting with Santa

Well, Tessa had her first encounter with Santa on Friday. The Schuster clan all took the day off and headed to Macy's (just like the commercial!) to view the 8th floor exhibit. A little shorter than I remember it being but still fun. She wasn't too sure of the whole thing until we got in and she could see things moving. She just kept staring at everything with her mouth wide open (and not drooling!). Afterwards, Auntie Kari and I decided that it would be good to have her meet the big guy in the red suit. Well, a photo is worth a thousands words...or in this case...a thousand screams. The day ended with a fun late lunch and the custom gingerbread cookies with red hots!

Poor Santa...I hope he doesn't hold it against her this year!

It's almost a year!

It's my first kid's birthday so I'm allowed to go full out, right? Check out her cute b-day invitations. Her christmas pictures are on the 13th and we're excited to have 2 cute outfits - her dress from Sophia's Style and her Korean dress (hanbok). Unfortunetly, I had to buy her a smaller one so she won't be able to wear her "real" one from my Korean family but she can grow into it. Can't wait!!!!
