It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

The Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired host a tree sale every year. I like to support their fundraiser, and it makes for a fun tree hunt. They have cookies, hot cocoa, and even Santa.

Santa to Claire: Hi, little girl have you been good? Claire: Santa, I thought you watched me to know. Santa: Well, yes. So what do you want for Christmas. Claire: A phone. 
Yes, she wants a cell phone at the age of four. I don't think Santa knew what to make of her choice.
