Matthew and Santa, Photo taken Dec 18, 2008

So we went to visit Santa today. I wanted to get him a Christmas attire for the photo with Santa but I didn’t have a chance to get one. So I settled with his monkey shirt and jogging pants! I thought, his hat will make up for his lack of Christmas attire.

There wasn’t too many children lining up to get a photo op with Santa so we didn’t wait to take our turn. It’s definitely a better experience compared last year. He called out ‘Mommy! Mommy!‘ a few times when I placed him in Santa’s lap, but I didn’t go too far so he didn’t really cry. He wasn’t kicking and screaming at Santa (like last year) when the photos were taken but it did take quite a few shots until that perfect photo.

Here are a few trial-and-error shots:

At the mall, except for his outburst of energy going through wall to wall and every corner, it was quite exhausting, he was otherwise okay and he seemed to have a lot of fun.

Thanks to Lori and Kimberly for tagging us along!
