Santa Claus is Coming to Town! or Third Time's A Charm

The kids have seen a lot of Santa Claus already this year. And after three Santa visits, we finally got a good picture. The kids saw him several weeks ago at Bass Pro shop. Aggie was screaming and crying in that picture because she was scared of Santa. Last week, Santa visited the daycare. That time, Aggie would stand beside Santa with a skeptical look on her face. At least no crying that time. And today, we went to Memorial City Mall to see Santa and get our "official" Santa picture for Christmas 2008. Both kids did a pretty good job and below is what we got. We had told Aggie that, if she smiled pretty and took a nice picture with Santa, he might give her a candy cane. Of course, it turned out that this Santa was giving out stickers instead of candy canes. But Aggie specifically asked Santa for a candy cane, and one of his elves was able to come up with one for her.

I'm amazed that you got them both to sit on his lap at all, much less smile! Liam won't have anything to do with Santa (and never has), even if that means that he won't get a present. Max will go to Santa, grudgingly, but only for the gift, and then he's outta there. (They see Santa each year at a party where the families give Santa the gifts to pass out in advance.) Enjoy your trip up this way -- hopefully you'll be able to avoid the subarctic temps by the time you get here. It hit 12 degrees today -- a heat wave!
