Visiting with Santa


We got to visit with Santa Claus a few weeks ago at the church Christmas party.  I think it is safe to say, Luke wasn't a big fan of the jolly ole' man in red.  Trevor took him up (since he was "too old to go himself").  Then I had everyone jump in for a quick group shot before Luke escaped, screaming for his life.


Jake on the other hand, was shaking with excitment over the prospect of speaking with Santa. 


Hayley was sweet but not quite as decisive as Jake in telling Santa her Christmas wishes.


Santa took it all in stride, continuing to ask Trevor questions above Luke's screaming.  My favorite...
Santa: "Have you been eating your vegetables?"  Trevor (starting to laugh) "No way!"


But Santa, or Luke calls him now "Ho Ho", was quickly redeemed as Luke grabbed the candy cane on his way out & quickly stopped screaming.   In fact, he ran back up to Santa's helper with the candy canes after he ate this one, and she put another in his sticky outstreched hand.  He didn't even notice the big man in red seating next to her.  Maybe we will start with the candy cane next year :)

Adorable Jake...ours is tonight, we'll see who manages to go up on the lap. My kids proclaimed themselves too big last year until they saw the treats...
