Santa (s)Nowhere in Sight!

I'd promised Audrey that I'd take her to see Father Christmas today. He was due to appear at our mums and tots group and as a result all week she's been nice (rather than naughty) in preparedness.

Unfortunately we arrived at Hula Kula (the kids play-area where he was planning his appearance) about an hour late this morning and Santa had already disappeared (to go off and make more toys for the children). At least that's what I told Audrey. Apparently the chap in the suit got too hot and only donned the red jacket and white beard for a short while. I was told that while he was handing out presents most of the kids in the place cried through a combination of fear and excitement.

I'm not sure at only 16 weeks old, whether Audrey would really have been any more composed either. She did get a chance to 'swim' in a ball-pool though which she enjoyed (despite looking terrified in the picture). Apparently though it's a gruesome sight when ball pools are emptied - one can only imagine what horrors lurk beneath!
