A nasty, cold, rainy morning is a good time to see Santa at the Mall of Georgia.

We pass time ducking into a couple of stores and doing escalator laps.

Finally, we get our turn with the big guy.

Ella tells him that she wants some bracelets and a snowman doll (from the movie, "Frozen").

Ella is really good - and so Santa spends a few extra minutes with her.

The official pictures are great, too.
