St. Nick's Day

Sam did not want to be on Santa's lap!
We did our tradition of taking the boys to see Santa on St. Nick's Day. If the camera guy would have taken the picture as soon as we sat Sam on Santa's lap, he would have been fine. But within moments, Sam did not like being on his lap one bit. We coudn't get him to stop crying, and we weren't going to torture him like the little girl's family did behind us and force him to stay until we got a decent pic...I like the one we got...it shows his true emotion.
Afterwards, he gave Santa a high five and waved good bye sans tears, from the comfort of daddy's arms!
We went to Pasta House to eat after the tramatic event, and while we were waiting for our food, Will looked over to Sam and said out of the blue, "Sam, don't be mad, Santa's nice, not bad."
Will, of course, knows to be on Santa's nice list list and really enjoyed his time with Santa. Although he did freeze up when Santa asked him what he wanted. He looked over at me and said, "I don't know." Santa asked him if he wanted trucks and trains...Will said yes. He wanted to take his wish list he had made, but we couldn't find it. Next year, I guess!
