It's that time of year again...and I love it! Jake, however, not so much. We went to visit Santa yesterday. For the past couple of weeks I've been trying to prepare Jake. We've talked about Santa. We've looked at pictures of Santa. We've played with out little stuffed Santa, and given him lots of hugs and kisses. None of it worked. Jake thought Santa was fun from afar, but when it came time to get close, he was having no part of that. Last year Jake did great. Of course, he was only 7 months old and didn't have a choice, but he thought Santa's beard was cool. I guess
this year the beard was scary.
Bill certainly didn't want to sit in Santa's lap with Jake, so I got volunteered. I was just going to kneel beside Santa and hold Jake for a picture. It didn't quite work out that way. I looked over at Santa patting his leg and saying, "here, Mom, you sit here." I haven't sat on Santa's lap in years and it wasn't quite what I remember. It was a bit awkward, but we were able to get a picture of Jake smiling, which is what counts. Don't you just love the flip flops?!

Victoria was scaried of Santa too! She screamed and tried to get out of his lap. It didn't even help having her big brother there which usually works
