We went to our church Christmas party and when Santa said it was time to go see him, Aerin ran as fast as she could to get in line. She was in the mob of big kids and surprisingly, did not get trampled...lol.
That kid can hold her own.
Scott and Mum had to go find her. Since she was farther ahead in line than we were, we were able to join her farther up in the line...yeah, Aerin rocks!!!
Mum was having a hard time after awhile standing with us cause Baby Liam was hurting her, so some other kids let us go ahead of them so we could be in line for a shorter time. That was very nice of them.
But as excited as we both were to see Santa, it was more of an excited from a distance kind of a thing...cause once it was our turn, well, it was a whole different story.
Aerin would not sit on his lap and started crying and only wanted Mum. As soon as Santa gave her a candycane, well, then we were able to get a pic of her standing in front of Santa.
Scott was the same way. There was no way he was gonna sit on his knee...which is kinda funny cause he even told Mum what he was going to ask Santa for.
But once Santa pulled out that candycane, he wasn't so bad. Not so good that Scott would sit on his knee, but he did stand in front
of Santa for a picture.

i think all kids like the idea of santa from a distance. when we see santa in the mall, mady will always point him out and tell us what she is going to ask him for christmas but we have never gotten close enough for her to sit on his knee, talk to him or even look at him once he is 3 feet away!! :) kian ohhhhhs and smiles but does the same thing...shies away and hides his head in mama or daddy's shoulder!

ReplyDeleteYou guys didn't want to sit on Santa's knee? But those pictures are pretty cute.
