visiting santa claus

we decided to take jack to visit santa after church on sunday. little did we know just about every other person in westchester decided to do the same thing! come to find out people get there right when the mall opens at 10am and santa doesn't even "open" until 11am! so we waited it out, about an hour, and surprisingly jack was great and waited in line with us the entire time. i think he was just so excited to see all the kids, look at the decorations, and of course let santa know what he would like for christmas. i have to say i thought for sure there would be massive tears despite my letting him know he would sit on santa's lap and tell him he had been a good boy, however, he totally surprised me and didn't shed a tear. now that doesn't mean he smiled either, but hey no crying is a big feat! here are some pics from our first santa experience!

hanging out in line


he had to get on mike's shoulders to get closer to the hot air balloon christmas decorations hanging from the ceiling...i guess being 6+ feet tall is better than 3 feet tall when you're looking up 3 stories in the air!


uh, who are you?!


the closest we got to a smile...soon after fear set in a little bit and he started to get upset!

WOW Jack! That is quite the Santa. To be sure you were the cutest little guy who sat on his lap this season...
