Santa magic

We found out that a bank was having a Santa picture day for free, even if you don't bank with them.  The kids loved it.

Except for Bellana.  I thought she would be freaked out, and she was.  As I moved to take her back, Santa put up his hand and said, "Just a minute, Mom."

And within a minute he had worked his Santa magic and turned Bellana into this smiling elf.

 They had balloons for everyone, hot chocolate, and cookies.

I hope they do it again next year!
