Santa

Last year, we did not want to see Santa at the mall. Joe had heard about the train displays at the B&O Railroad Museum downtown and how Santa likes to make a stop there. It was a great time and we decided to make it a tradition. Joey was pumped to see Santa and thank him for the postcard he sent. Jack would get excited as well when we mentioned seeing Santa, so we never anticipated having a problem with pictures. It did not go well. Joey crawled right up on the bench next to him and started talking like they were old friends. When it was time for Jack to sit next to Santa, he would not let go of me. Joe tried sitting on the bench with him and Jack would stand 4 feet away and not budge. Finally, Santa grabbed a couple of candy canes and used them to get Jack up on the bench. But, he sat as far away as he could. Not a "perfect" picture, but a funny story to go with it. :) The last 3 pics are of Jackson terrorizing a snowman displayon our way out of the museum...see the captions for explanation.

That is as close as he would get!

Taking Mrs. Snowman's nose
Giving hugs after he put everything back...
