We have taken Kaden every year to see Santa, whether it was at the mall or at the ward Christmas party or wherever. He always wants to go see him, but once we get there he says he's too scared. Usually our pictures end up something like this:
Notice how they're both crying? Kaden because he doesn't want anything to do with Santa once we get there, and Kyle because I want him to so bad! :)
We decided to give it a go today. We've been talking about how we get to show Santa what we'd like him to bring us and his new favorite movie (Polar Express) has the little boy sitting on Santa's lap at the end....
So, armed with the catalog of toys that came in the mail (with everything that he wants circled) and the camera we headed out. We thought Bosten might get in on the action too, but he fell asleep in the carseat and there was no way I was getting him out to get a picture. Anyway, Kaden went pretty much right up to talk to him and show him the toys he'd like:
Pretty good, huh?! Santa was great and there wasn't anyone else waiting, so Kaden got to talk to him for a few minutes. And, he even sat on his lap for the long awaited picture!
Success!

That picture is adorable!!! Yeah we have yet to see if this year Jenna will be less terrified of Santa. Maybe I should have her bring the toy catalog, too... good idea!
Good job, Shugs! Glad Santa could take some time out of his busy schedule and listen to you go through the catalog pointing at every toy you want! Hope you brings you nice things!
AWWW! They just grow up way too fast don't they? I do love it though when they get self-confidence.
Nice work Shuggie! You will have to come down and show Riley how it is done!
