Kase was talking about Santa for almost a month. He really really wanted to see Santa and said that he was going to sit on his lap and tell him that he wants trains and golf clubs for Christmas. I assumed Kase was going to get there and panic. But of course we needed our annual Santa visit. We were in The Woodlands area visiting my family for Thanksgiving so we decided to visit Santa there. We got there pretty early right when the mall opened on Saturday and guess started waiting in line. After about 20 mins and no one actually taking pictures with Santa an Elf finally came by and told us that the camera was broken. About 10 mins later they got it working.. but Kase was already running out of patience. 15 mins later we were almost to the front of the Santa line and Kase was still very excited and sure that he wanted to see Santa.
Here is a shot of Santa reading to the kids while they were working on the camera.
He did much better than expected. He ran up and gave Santa a great big hug and a high five. Then once Santa put him on his lap he froze. He didn't scream and cry like past years but he didn't say a word and just looked at him. Santa kept talking to him and asking him if he was good boy and what he would like for Christmas. Kase finally gave in and said " I want Red presents" Santa laughed and said what would you like inside those presents and Kase said "Toys." So very open ended. He really wouldn't smile for his picture either, but better than in the past years. About 5 minutes later he said "mommy I do that again?" of course the line was very long so I told him he would get to see him another day.
Here is the final result!
