Santa & the Trains...

Last year, J was not a fan of Santa. This year, we went to the mall shortly after Thanksgiving and Santa's house was all set-up. J saw it and ran in the other direction. I could not believe that he remembered the house and his fears associated with it an entire year later. So, we started talking about how Santa was nice, but that he didn't have to sit with Santa if he didn't want to. After ALOT of talk, he decided to try. J was a little unsure at first, but we got an ok picture...

Checking it out...

Needing a little reassurance...I can't get enough of those sweet hugs!

Ok, maybe not...

 A short meltdown until Santa mentioned toys and the photographer pulled out Elmo.

:) Still not totally sure, but I was proud of his bravery!

 The trains were a much bigger hit! Especially, the state fair replica.

 J is a big fan of "Big Tex"

 This train set really is impressive.
