An impromptu visit to the Mall of America to get Max out of the house and low and behold...NO LINE to see Santa!!! My gosh...that ALMOST makes up for the THREE hour wait we had last year! I did not think Max would tolerate sitting by some big stranger w/ funny clothing...nor did I think he'd appreciate a long wait to see him...so I didn't think we'd get any pictures with Santa...but we lucked out!
Santa's helpers/elves actually got him to smile a few times but weren't quick enough to capture it on camera. They were smart enough to have Santa move away...put him on the rocking horse and try to distract him and make him laugh...all while Santa snuck in behind him. He almost started to cry when he did notice him...but the girls were good enough to get his attention really quickly again.
It's so crazy to compare this year's Santa picture to last years...he was just this little chubby baby with barely any hair in the back...and now he's such a big boy!
