Today we went to see Santa ... again. You might ask why, as Jasper did, since Santa was just at our house two weeks ago. Well I wanted to take the kids, specially Jax, to Santa again because he wasn't feeling well the day of our Santa party and so I don't have any cute pictures of him with the big guy. :) Jasper was nice enough to not complain and come help because taking two kids to the mall 3 days before Christmas is a crazy plan that needs AT LEAST two adults to pull it off. We got there early before Santa arrived so we wouldn't have to wait in a long line. Luckily Santa's station is right next to the kid rides and so Jax was occupied while Miles and I hung out in line. Thank goodness we came early. By the time we were done the line was half way across the mall. I have no idea how people stay in line that long with their kids.
Soon it was our turn!
He seemed pretty happy this year.
I love that Jax checks out his facial hair. He did this last year as well.
It is amazing the difference a year makes.
After our visit with Santa was done we headed to the other photo op at the mall, Santa's sleigh. I took pictures of Jax on this last year and I will say that it was significantly harder to get a picture this year. Last Christmas it was right before Jax started crawling. I could sit him somewhere and take as many pictures as I wanted. This year not so much.
I planned on taking a picture of the boys together. Jas usually loves to hold Miles, but when I sat Miles next to him today he just wanted to stand up and get off. So Miles got to have his own little photo shoot. He didn't seem to mind.
So two visits with Santa this year and well worth it.
However, we have learned that you NEVER go to the mall 3 days before Christmas.
