Do You Believe In Santa?

This past Saturday, we went to our now "Annual" event of visiting Santa at Mummy's work. Yes, Mummy is definitely on Santa's Nice List because Santa visits her at work! ;o) hee hee

This year, we also invited Grandma Katy and Grandpa Tom to come and visit with Santa too. Not sure how it would be since Erik does have stranger anxiety nowadays (which is a good thing!). All week prior, Daddy has been prepping Erik about Santa Claus, asking Erik, "what does Santa say?" and Erik will reply "Ho Ho Ho". So he understands the concept.

We even brought him over to the local shopping mall to see Santa and to see how the kids plop on Santa's lap for a "picture-taking" opportunity. We'll ask Erik if he wanted to sit with Santa and he'll nod his head in yes. So, we thought we were pretty much home free for this past Saturday's event. Eh, NO!

Erik did fabulous sitting with Santa while Mummy & Daddy were there too. Think he got on Santa's NICE list too! hee hee. Then Mummy & Daddy quickly got up to snap a shot of just Erik and Santa 1:1...and...that's when Erik bawled! His cry is quite cute, actually. He'll take in the air he can before letting out one big wail that anybody within a 15 feet radius can here. Mummy shall coin it as the Sonic-Cry. We kept snapping away!

Then we sent in the backup troops, Grandparents! They also "sat" on Santa's lap with Erik. Erik calmed down as his Grandparents settled in cozily with Santa. It was their first time hee hee. Grandpa Tom was a bit bashful :o). We always refer to Grandpa Tom as one of the 7 dwarfs in Snow White, majority of the time, he's Grumpy but with Santa, he became Bashful. LOL! Maybe Tom was hoping he'll be on the Nice list too! HAHAHAH!

Side Note: Our pictures did NOT come out too well. At least Daddy was complaining. Thus we may have to opt out on Santa in our Xmas cards this year! ARGH!
