seeing santa and talking about santa are two different things

for the past few weeks, aidan "gets" the idea that santa is a happy man that says "ho, ho,ho"; dresses in red, and will be bringing aidan presents under the tree because "he's a good boy."

fast forward to sunday, when we attended "breakfast with santa" with our birth class friends. in addition to breakfast, the kids get to visit with mrs. and mr claus, as well as get a goody bag and story time.

remember last year's santa picture?  let me remind you:

this year:




no tears and faces of horror, but the kid wasn't in the mood. sit on this guy's lap? no way, no how.
