Santa's Helper

My dad brought one of our reindeer to Lansing today so that my sister (who is student teaching here) could show the reindeer to her students. She had planned a lot of learning activities around the study of reindeer last week and then surprised the students on Friday by telling them that they would get to meet a "real live reindeer" on Monday.

Sam and I went to surprise Aunt Minnie at her school this afternoon. My dad knew that we were stopping by, but it was a complete surprise for Min. My dad took Sam inside the fence with the reindeer, but she was completely scared of it (she's going through a stage where a lot of things seem to frighten her). I was able to take this picture after she came back outside of the fence.
