Santa, Take Two

Cade and I went to the mall the other day and walked past Santa on our way in. Cade got very excited at first, but as we got closer, the he started to freak out again. But while we went to a few stores and ate a snack in the food court, he talked about Santa the whole time. So I asked him if he would like to visit Santa on the way to the car, and he said yes. Once again, as we got closer to Santa, he held on really tight to my hand and started saying "No, No, No!". But then, he noticed that there were 2 nutcrackers on either side of Santa, which he was fascinated with. Thanks to very patient workers and the lack of a line, we very slowly made our way closer to Santa. This is as close as we got:



Look, Mom, no tears! (no smile either)
