Ho, Ho, Ho!

We finally made it to see Santa this past Friday afternoon.  This year we opted for going to see the appointment required real (by that I mean, the actual Santa, not a Santa helper) Santa at Phipps Plaza in Atlanta.  Even though we had an appointment we still had to stand in line for a bit.  We took turns chasing Reed around.  He not very good at being patient.  I wonder who he gets that from?  Hmmm...

Prior to it actually being his turn, we kept taking him up so that he could look at Santa.  He seemed semi-excited, but he much preferred running around.  When it was his turn, Chris walked him up to Santa and this is what happened.

Poor baby!  Chris is trying to point out the Elmo that the photographer was holding.  The picture is blurry because I was probably giggling/crying.

"Oh, this is really bad!"

Elmo saves the day!

And then he just sat there and listened to Santa talk.  He would occassionally turn around and look at him, but he would quickly turn back around.

And, after getting out of Santa's lap we asked him if he wanted to sit in Santa's lap again, and this is the look he gave us.  Thankfully, he will still talk about Santa and tell us that he says "ho".

Remember this photo of our little guy giving his Daddy a smackeroo last year while standing in line to see Santa?

Apparently he did and he is making it a tradition, lol!
