We decided to take the kids to the new mall downtown called City Creek. It's been open for awhile, but since it's a good 25 minute ride and has more high end stores (and fewer of the ones I typically frequent) I never went when there are two malls much closer to me.
I had read online that City Creek had a virtual line for Santa. You check in, then show up at your appointment time and there's no wait! It's great. We headed straight to check in and then walked around the mall until it was our turn to see Santa.
As expected, Kendall was scared of him. She's always been that way with Santa. She'll take off at marathon pace to chase after Minnie Mouse at Disney, but acts silly and frightened with Santa. I guess it's because she's never sure if he'll deliver the goods or not! Last year Santa sent her a video email telling her she was on the naughty list and had better work harder. That sent her into tears!
Both kids told Santa what they wanted, but no pictures since she wouldn't get close enough without holding on to me. The only downside to seeing Santa at City Creek is that they don't let you take your own photos - you have to buy theirs. Bummer. This is the only one I could get of them at the mall today. It's a really beautiful mall - a stream running through it, stocked with fish, animal paw print tracks on the tiles, sky bridges, parking garage, outdoor fire pit, fountains, and lots of high end stores perfect for window shopping. I wonder how much business Tiffany's does at City Creek? The Apple store was packed - which by the way, if your phone battery is low, let the kids play with the new ipads while you borrow their charger! :)
