“Think she’s old enough?”
Doesn’t matter.
“Think she’ll like it?”
Of course.
“Think she’ll…”
“DADDY!!! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!”
Yeah, she’ll appreciate it.
“Where are we going, Mama?”
“It’s a surprise.”
“But I don’t like surprises.”
“So we stay home.”
“That’s now that I said.”
“So it’s a surprise.”
“Where are we going, Mama?”
“I see snow!”
“Isn’t it pretty?”
“Can I make a snow angel, Mama?”
“Maybe later.”
“After we get to our surprise?”
“Yeah, baby. After we get to our surprise.”
“Daddy, Mama said I can make a snow angel after we get to our surprise.”
“We’re here!”
“Where’s here, Daddy?”
“Our surprise.”
“So I can make a snow angel now?”
“Enjoy your stay and your train ride to the North Pole.”
“The North Pole?”
“The North Pole.”
“Will Santa be there?”
“Of course. You may even see him on the train.”
“I GET TO SEE SANTA ON THE TRAIN?”
“Yes, you do.”
“I GET TO SEE SANTA ON THE TRAIN!”
“Mrs. Clause can see you now.”
“Are you a real elf?”
“Are you a real girl?”
“Your ears are pointy.”
“That’s because I’m a real elf. You’re cute.”
“That’s because I’m a real girl.”
“Would you like to be my honorary elf?”
“But I’m a girl.”
“Girls can be honorary elves.”
“What do I have to do?”
“Just hold my hand and wave the first train off. Think you can do that?”
“Smile and wave, sweetie.”
“I am.”
“Not at me, you silly goose. Smile at the passengers on the train!”
“I’ll wave at them. But I’ll smile at you.”
“We’re going to see Santa”
“Yes, baby. It’s our turn now.”
“Then I can make a snow angel?”
“You are adorable.”
“Can I be an adorable snow angel?”
“Hot! Hot!
Ooh, we got it!
Hot! Hot!
Hey, we got it!
Hot! Hot!
Say, we got it!
Hot chocolate!
“What would you like for Christmas?”
“A special doll that’s just for me!”
“Merry Christmas!”
“I love you, Santa!”
“Mama! It’s SNOWING!”
“I see that.”
“Now see me dancing in the snow!”
“I see that, too, baby.”
“Can we take the snow with us, Mama?”
“No, but I can take a picture of y0u dancing in the snow with us.”
“Take more, Mama. Take more!”
“Am I making good snow angel, Daddy?”
“The best.”
“I want to make it smile.”
“I think it already is, baby.”
“There’s snow on my manos, Mama.”
“Yes, I know.”
“My butt is wet, Daddy.”
“I figured it would be.”
“My legs are cold, Mama.”
“Makes sense to me.”
“Can we stay here forever, Daddy?”
“Forever? No. For now? Yes.”
“For now is so pretty. Thank you for for now.”
