Here Comes Santa Claus...Here Comes Santa Clause...

A week or two ago, we reluctantly agreed it was time to take Logan to see Santa. I say we were reluctant because I had heard stories and was picturing a worst case scenario with Logan screaming, clawing and pulling away from Santa to of course...be back in Mama's arms. Because neither Jason or I wanted to battle the mall crowds, we decided the Mission Lights Festival would be the perfect way for Logan to meet Santa for the first time in person.

We made our arrival just in time to see the lights of the tree turn on for the first time - Logan was impressed and really enjoyed the lights!

We then went over to roast some marshmallows - another first that Logan devoured!

Soon after, Mr. and Mrs. C made their grand entrance on their Cyber Sleigh! This is no regular old sleigh, it's a suped up sleigh with flashing lights, a joy stick and blasting Christmas tunes with a strong beat. As you can imagine, Logan thought this was pretty awesome!

So we began the wait in line to see the infamous Santa. Meanwhile, asking (confirming) if Logan was excited or even wanted to see Santa. He eagerly nodded his head yes, over and over and over. So, we thought...okay, we'll see how this goes.

It was our turn, I plopped him on Santa's lap while Jason snapped away with the camera. I stood nearby in case he were to freak out as we had expected. Nothing. He did absolutely - nothing but stare at Santa's beard. He loved it and honestly, I think Jason and I could have left to drink a little hot cider by the fire for a bit and he wouldn't have even cared! So, we swooped him up and went on with our festivities, of course asking him through the night, "did you have fun with Santa," in which he'd reply either, "yes," or the infamous, "mo, mo, mo," indicating more in sign language. Boy, did we underestimate his relationship with Santa...
