ho ho ho, scary Christmas

Poor Ryan was so scared of Santa when we went to get his picture taken tonight. I really thought he'd like him because he seems to like characters (like the Minnie Mouse we saw at Perkins on kid's night, LOL). I also talked a lot about going to visit him - told him he could ask Santa for a candy cane, presents, etc.

We tried, but we didn't want to push him too much - it's just not that important! He wouldn't even sit on the couch next to Santa and Katie. He also would not sit with Santa without Katie, or stand near him, or sit on a wooden present on the floor near them (a prop they use for older kids), or sit near him with Daddy, or on Daddy's lap. Would not could not. Not on a box. Not with a fox. Not in a house. Not with a mouse.

So, we have a picture of Katie smiling and looking happy as pie. I think she asked Santa for a few things for her brother :-)
