Family Photo with Santa

We took the kids to see Santa today and somehow getting their picture made with Santa turned into a family photo with Santa. While we were waiting in line and watching Santa from a distance, Jackson was all smiles...
Noah was excited too. He even carried Allen the elf with him because we thought Allen might be getting a little homesick by now. (We found him in the freezer this morning eating a popsicle. I guess he's missing the really cold weather from the North Pole.)

When it was our turn, they looked so sweet! Noah took Jackson by the hand and led him right up to Santa.

The smiles from Jackson continued as they got closer.

This is about where the smiling stopped! Jackson loved Santa- right up until we sat him on his lap. At that point, Jackson looked up at Santa and burst into terrified tears!
At Santa's suggestion, we turned it into a family photo instead! Jackson wouldn't smile for the picture, but at least he wasn't screaming anymore!
Noah was very happy with his visit to Santa. He took his letter to Santa that he had written all by himself (with a little spelling help from Mom) and put it right into Santa's hands. Santa opened it up and read it. Noah was sooo proud! Santa also said hi to Allen the elf and told Noah that Allen has been sending him updates on who's been behaving at our house. He told Noah not to worry though, because he'll be stopping by our house on Wednesday night for sure!
