Visit with Santa

Two of our favorite autism community groups, the Autism Society of Oregon and Red Headphones for Autism, got together and hosted a Sensory Santa event.  They set up a quiet place for folks on the spectrum to have a private visit with Santa.  Santa was so kind and gentle with the girls and we got some really fun pictures of our visit.  This was such a perfect way to see Santa.  No rush, no lines and we could actually spend some time getting acclimated and be able to enjoy all that Santa has to offer!


Kathryn and Jocelyn together with Santa.

Kathryn went right up to Santa and snuggled right into his lap for a big hug.  I love this sweet picture.

Kate really enjoyed her one on one time with Santa. I love that she is holding his hand in this shot.

Jocelyn warmed up eventually and headed over to check out her sister's new best bud.

Jocie loved his face, beard and hat. Kathryn just stayed happily on Santa's lap while Jocie gave him the sensory once-over.

Eventually Jocie sat on his lap, looking quite surprised to see him, while Kathryn flopped down behind them.

This is my favorite pic of the day. Jocelyn smiling and clapping Santa's hands while Kate lounges in the background.
