We hit up the St. Michael fire station over the weekend to see Santa. Andrew enjoyed seeing the trucks!
The kid from Jerry Maguire was there to play as well.
We had about a 20 minute wait so Andrew had lots of time to prepare. We would ask him what he wants for Christmas and he just replied “presents”. So we told him to ask Santa for books.
A little coaxing, but then he was fine.
Clearly, Santa was not fine. Probably stressing about the big night ahead. Maybe he was making a mental list…and checking it twice…trying to find out who’s naughty or nice.
Santa finally pulled it together and we got a decent picture.
They just kind of sat there like that for a while. Neither of them said anything. Finally, I told Andrew to talk to Santa. He didn’t, but Santa got the clue that he could talk to Andrew. He said, “Little boy, do you want surprises for Christmas, ho ho ho?”. Andrew shook his head up and down.
Then, Santa tried to have Andrew grasp onto his finger. Much like one would do to a baby.
He use that trick on him last year as well.
