Santa Picture 2008

Norma went early this morning and stood in line at the mall. Santa is a very popular dude this time of year. This year we were pretty late in taking him, but we have been working on getting Aidan to be good and sit on his lap. That hasn't happened over the last couple of years. (see 2005 )

Aidan did a great job. The whole time in the line he kept saying, "Dad, I just can't do it." He kept watching other kids sit on Santa's lap, but he didn't think he could. I kept saying, "Santa is such a nice guy. He will ask you some questions and you can sit on his lap." In the end I bribed him, as usual. :) But, it wasn't like he did it only to go to Burger King and get a toy. He really wanted to.

It was so cute to see him on Santa's lap, I didn't want to get him off and go to the next kid. Usually I'm grabbing him and Norma and I are running out of there while he is crying. The boy is really growing up. :) Christmas is going to be incredible tomorrow.
