The first year, Cayden was ten months old. At that age, he LOVED everyone and had no problem with Santa (see small picture bottom left). He smiled big and the "elves" were surprised at how well he'd done.
Then, his second Christmas he was a little over a year and a half, and he was very finicky with whom he LIKED. Santa was not one of those people. As soon as he got to Santa's lap, he started to cry and wanted down. The only way we were able to get a good picture was because Santa read him a story.
Then came this year. His third Christmas (two and a half). We told him he was going to see Santa and get his picture taken. He was so excited. This was the first year he really enjoyed Christmas ... the lights, the trees, the snow, the gifts, etc.)
When we were the next ones in line, he took one look at Santa and ran in the opposite direction. Then he hid in between my legs.
WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED???
We got up to Santa and Santa asked for Cayden to give him five, high five, and knuckles. After that, he became Cayden's good friend.
** If you look at this Santa, He doesn't seem to have changed in the last three years. Mike's dad says it's the same Santa they took Mike and Jamie to see.... Could it be??? The REAL Santa!! **
Disclaimer: We DO NOT believe in Santa, nor do we claim he is real. We DO NOT receive gifts from Santa. We only take pictures with him as a holiday figure.
BUT... IF we DID, would you quit being my friend???
