Since Jackson was sick last weekend, we couldn't go see Santa then as we had planned, so we went last night - in the cold and much longer line. Santa and Mrs. Claus live close by our house so it's so much easier than going to the mall. You get to walk through their house and then outside to see all of their Christmas decorations. Santa sits in the back of his workshop and everyone waits in line to see him.
Last year Rachel did fine up until we were close to Santa and then she freaked out... This year, Rachel started freaking out as soon as we got to Santa's house... "I don't want to see Santa, I don't want to sit on Santa's lap, etc." So thirty minutes later when we got up to see him, I expected the worst. Jackson sat on Santa's lap without hesitation - he was fine with it. I'm having to hold Rachel and we go stand beside the big guy in red...He starts to talk to Rachel and she immediately starts talking to him openly. Luckily her candy cane fell to the ground so she got down and I backed away. She stood beside him and talk to him the whole time - but she never would sit on his lap. But she didn't freak out so I'm okay with that. =) It was a fun night anyways.
Waiting in line all bundled up.
Jackson's first time with Santa! He's a champ!
