This was the first year we have been brave enough to take the girls to see Santa Claus. We weren't sure how it was going to go, but luckily they did great. Our neighborhood hosted a Cookies With Santa Party and it was a lot of fun, but VERY crowded. This was the first year so I don't think they knew what to expect, but I have to give them credit because they had a pretty good system for everyone to get a turn to see Santa. They also had a coloring contest and a station where the kids could make ornaments.
Mr. and Mrs. Claus were amazing. When they came in Santa was playing the bagpipes and that really got every ones attention. The clothes they were wearing were absolutely beautiful and Santa had this deep warm voice that sounded just like I remember Santa sounding when I was little. It really was a neat experience. I had to go with the girls to meet Santa because they were a little nervous, but no tears were shed! Good job Oberoi girls.
It was hard to keep Diya happy before we saw Santa. She wanted to run around and play, but there were so many people I was afraid she would get trampled. She was happy once she got a cookie! 
Here's Isha with a big mouthful of cookie.
