Madelyn is SO excited that Christmas is almost here! 
She examines the ornaments very carefully then puts them back in new places on the tree!
Checking everything out . . .
She enjoyed playing in the oversized chair at the mall. We took her picture in it when she was only 6 months old, too. My how things have changed!
Getting comfortable during a busy day of shopping and seeing Santa!
Here she is taking a peek at Santa while waiting her turn. She chose not to sit on his lap this year. But she sure did like seeing him!
Well, this was as close as she would get to Santa. But we still considered it a victory since there were no tears and Mommy didn't have to pose with her this year!
