Bella's first visit with Santa!

Bella has been begging me to go see Santa so today after having her pictures taken at the mall we headed over to Santa's Winter Wonderland. Being her first time I wasn't sure how she would do once it was actually time to sit in his lap but she jumped up there just like she'd done it a hundred times before. She was very specific in letting Santa know that she would like a Princess guitar from him and he was a bit shocked that such a little girl was asking for a guitar. He said, "this little girl wants a guitar that's as big as she is!" but Bella confirmed that yes, indeed, she was asking for a guitar! ;)

After they were done talking, we got a few cute pictures, Bella got to pick a coloring book out of Santa's bag and we were off. Of course she hasn't stopped talking about it since!

Like I mentioned, we also had her Christmas pictures taken at JC Penny's. She wore her pretty christmas dress and was an absolute doll. As I was sitting there trying to decide which poses to get I realized that it would be a lot easier if the kid wasn't so darn photogenic! Even the photograper commented on how every single picture turned out great. I was good though and limited myself to the cutest ones and can't wait to share them with everyone!

Here's Bella and Jolly Ol' St. Nick...
