Santa Phobia

This year we have discovered that Keegan is afraid of Santa. His first encounter was just before Thanksgiving at a holiday preview at Kroger. Keegan cried and Santa tried to back away as quickly as possible. Then we went to the museum center downtown to Holiday Junction. Santa was there...Keegan didn't want that guy to even touch his hand. Just on Monday our neighbor was nice enough to invite us to the zoo lights with her and her kids. Of course Santa had to be seen--Keegan was willing to take a candy cane from this one. And then just last night we went to a local park that has a Holiday in Lights display each year. Afterwards you can go to Santaland and of course visit none other than Santa himself. :) And what do you know? After only 4 sightings of jolly Ol' Saint Nicholas---Keegan sat on Santa's lap. So although some places allow free pics of Santa with your own camera, we had to buy the first picture of Keegan actually on Santa's lap.



Don't you love the deer in headlights look on Keegan's face? We thought it was pretty funny--I think it must've been the candy cane from Santa the night before that got him to finally sit on this one's lap. :)

We saw Santa at our ward Christmas party. Devin started getting a little nervous just seeing him from a distance and as we walked closer he started clinging to him tighter. He did take a candy cane from him, but when Santa took him from me Devin started crying! Poor little guy! It's funny how afraid they are!

One day they will understand that all the presents come from Santa!

I super impressed that you got him to sit on Santa's lap! He's so adorable! Wow! I know Eva would have screamed out of control if we attempted that!

Also, can you email me you address? I'm sending our Christmas cards out and realized we didn't have your address...

He totally has the deer/headlights look, but I can't blame the guy. That is a really sad looking Santa. Could'nt they have done better than that???
