*That title is a little deceptive I guess, because there are no pictures of Jake with Santa in here. They won't let you take your own pictures and I haven't scanned the one we got.
We took Jake to see Santa at the mall today and it was an adventure. We had planned to get there right around 10am when the mall opened in hopes of a short wait, but Jake had other plans and went down for a nap at 9:30. So we got there little before noon. The line wasn't too bad though(only about 11 familes in front of us) and we thought we would be able to get in before Santa's milk and cookie break from 1-2. So we waited. At about 12:45 one of the workers came out and said no one else was going to be let in (there was a line to get to the shorter line to see Santa) to the snowglobe part so we could stay in line and wait until his break was over or come back at 2. That was pretty frustrating because there were only 2 families in front of us at that point. But we figured it would be better to stay in line than try to come back, so we took turns waiting in line and taking Jake to the play place or around the mall. Fortunately for us, the two families ahead of us both didn't want to wait so we ended up being first once Santa was back.
Once we finally got to see Santa, Jake did great! At first he looked at Santa like "Who the heck are you?" and the first picture they took he just had a random look on his face with no smile. But the photographer got him to laugh and smile really big for the 2nd picture. Then Santa talked to Jake a little bit and Jake started bouncing and smiling. I am so glad he did so well! No crying with Santa picture this year! Hopefully that trend will continue.
Look who can stand alone (for a little bit anyways)
