Meeting Santa

We went to see Santa last weekend. We planned well and there was hardly any line. Jake had fun "talking" with the other kids in line and looking at all the decorations. Big bro Trevor was with him, so I was confident all would go well. It got to be our turn and on the lap he went. He didn't cry, but got this look like "ummm Mom what the heck is this dude??" I couldn't get a smile for anything, very unusual for this little guy. I was happy with the puzzled look for the pics, hey, he wasn't freaking out. Well the elf got the bright idea to shove an old ratty parrot puppet in his face, and what did he do??? Burst out in tears. Thanks elf, walk away! All in all the pics are cute, and yes we were "those people" who tooks pics even though we weren't supposed to, but we also purchased a package so I don't feel so bad.
