Meeting Santa Claus

We took the kids to see Santa Claus yesterday and to try and get a cute photo of them with the big guy. As mentioned before, Jack is not a fan of Santa Claus so we've been reading Christmas and Santa books to him to get a little more familiar with him. On the way to see Santa yesterday, we told Jack to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas and he seemed genuinely excited to see Santa.

Jack happily sat on Santa's lap long enough to get a candy cane and say, "Choo choo pease Sana Crause."
And then he just wanted to get down.This is as good as it gets - Kids with Santa 2008.
Poor Jack was so sad when we left. He kept asking for his "choo choo." Apparently, he didn't understand that Santa will bring presents on Christmas and not when you ask for them and get your picture taken.


Later that night Santa and Mrs. Claus were at the restaurant where we had dinner. We tried to get a family photo, but the jig was up with Jack. He wanted nothing to do with Santa since he failed to deliver on the choo choo request earlier in the day.Elizabeth was happy to have her picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus.The evening Santa episode reminded us of last year - Jack with Santa 2007

Maybe next year...
