cont'd - More Visits with Santa at the Mall

Next in line were Bonnie and Chloe.  Paige had taken them to the mall to have their photos taken with Santa,
​as a surprise for their parents.....

Chloe went first......"And, who's this little fellow??"

​"He is Geoffrey. He's my very best-est  friend....."

"Santa even gave Geoffrey a candy cane!"

Then it was Bonnie's turn....    "I really like your nice red shoes!"

"They are brand new.  My Daddy bought them for me."

Break Time

A lot of families and kids had come though, and it was finally Erzulie's family's turn....

But Elin thought Santa could use a little break.

So she brought him a nice warm cup of coffee and a cupcake...,.

"Oh my!! I have such a sore back from sitting all day. I really need to take a run around the block!!"

So, as Santa went to stretch his legs, Elin kept his seat warm....

...as the kids continued to wait in line....

"Okay....Santa is back.  Who's next??"

Benny's Family

"I have a puppet of you!"

"And here's a candy cane for 'Mom' too...."

One Last Group

It was almost closing time, and there was still one last group of kids waiting to see Santa.
​Aaron had brought his sister Byuri, and two of her friends...

First Nami had her portrait taken with Santa...

Then Byuri and Aaron had their picture taken...

It was closing time, and the others had all had their picture taken. Except Ringo.
"So, how about you little fellow??" asked Santa...

Ringo slowly approached Santa......."Why so sad??"

 "Is there something you'd like for Christmas??"

Ringo started to cry....

"My Mom is in the hospital.  And I just want her to get better, and come home."

"I can see that you are very worried...."

"Now, let's wipe your tears, and take a nice photo for your Mom."
