Breakfast with Santa



Well, today we had breakfast with Santa, round two. The first round (last year) resulted in a child who was terrified of Santa and refused to have his picture made with the guy. Also, Santa looked rather young, disinterested, and slightly drugged last year.

Anyway, Caleb assured me that he was "a big boy now" and that he wasn't afraid of Santa. Nonetheless, after we arrived at the hotel, had the requisite breakfast (a highlight for Caleb was partaking of three different types of jam), and neared the moment of truth, Caleb's fear took hold. However, we had something that tipped the scales in our favor this year... Santa was handing out candy canes. When Caleb realized that the only way to get a candy cane was to look fear in the face, he stoically posed for a picture. Fortunately, we ran into Matt's professor who snapped a quick shot for us. Of course, Madi is howling and Caleb looks like he's just seen a ghost. Oh, the things we do for fun!
