Visiting Santa

Last night Wayne and I took Nathan to Willow Bend Mall to visit Santa. Last year, Nathan cried when he saw Santa, so this year, Wayne and I have both been talking about Santa and how he brings presents to you. He's watched several cartoons and movies about Santa and was REALLY excited to see him. I kept thinking that he'll be excited to see Santa until he has to sit on his lap, and then he'll get scared. But even if he got scared to sit on Santa's lap, I thought oh well, it will still be a cute picture.

Look how excited he is!

As we were waiting in line, there was lots to see. They had Christmas trees all over and The Polar Express snow globes and activities to do while we waited.

Nathan and Mommy...we're getting close to Santa!

As soon as we passed through the last hallway, Nathan could look over this wall and see Santa. He started pointing and yelling to daddy, "I see Santa!"

The waiting started to get to Nathan. When there were two kids in front of him, it was like he couldn't stand the excitement anymore. He just laid down with his hands under his chin and waited :)

When it was finally his turn, a girl held his hand and led him to Santa, Nathan was so happy and sat right on his lap. He smiled the whole time like he just couldn't believe he was actually talking to Santa. It was the cutest thing ever. After they took his picture, I reminded him to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas and he said, "I want lellow trains Santa." Santa was so nice, and talked to him about Thomas the train. I finally had to pull Nathan off of Santa's lap because he didn't want to get down. As we were walking away, Nathan turned back to Santa, and yelled, "I want trains!" It was like he was reminding him so he wouldn't forget :)

How cute is this?!
