Shattered Dreams

I think I was about 5 years old in this picture. I remember it like it was yesterday though! I was a student at Teague Pre-School. They brought Santa in on the day of my birthday and I got to sit on his lap and tell him everything I wanted and I truly believed that I would get everything that I listed. It was shortly after this picture was taken that Leila Shambarger confronted me in the sandbox during recess and told me the truth about Santa Claus. My world was shattered, but I carried on the act of pretending to believe in Santa for a few more years, just in case my parents didn't know that I knew.
