On Friday, Ben and I took an early lunch break to go see Santa with some friends.
Naughty or Nice? Hope, Kaitlyn, Carter and Ben
The jolly old elf at Brookwood Mall was very authentic in his white beard and rosy cheeks, but it all was a bit overwhelming for the youngins. As the girls looked on from a safe distance, the boys attempted a close up visit. Since Ben is typically happy to be held by anyone willing for the job, I was surprised to feel his legs clenching around my waist and his hands clutching my shoulder as we approached Santa's chair. And once in his lap, even the snacks I tried to appease him with, wouldn't hold back the tears.
I don't think I like this...
Why have you left me with this terrifying man?Determined to get the most for my $11.99, acting as a human buffer between Ben and Mr. Claus, seemed to do the trick.
Now this is more like it; just me and Mom. No Santa in sight!

We were there too! I saw Susan, but didn't see you. Lawson didn't cry, but was very serious. I need to post, but the computer cord is dead. Christmas holidays are going to be fun!
