Santa!

Oliver had picked up a little cold this weekend, but we still decided to go see Santa.  It was a pretty long wait (1 hour) but Tim and I took turns walking with Oliver around the village and getting a treat at Starbucks.  It was a beautiful day on Sunday, so it was perfect weather for going to see Santa at U Village.

We were a bit nervous, as everyone we talked to said at this age, most will have the crying photo.  In fact, there was a girl who was 19 months old just ahead of us, and you could hear her screaming and crying inside Santa's cabin!

Oliver did the similar no cry/no smile thing he did last year...

And here is last year's photo for comparison... so much smaller!!

Santa, 2010

What a cutie patootie!  And can we all agree that this years' Santa is not as good as last year?  I never thought to check out the Santa beforehand - my only requirement is that they must have a natural beard (no fake beards).  Tim thinks that is a silly rule, but hey, I'm pretty silly myself!

Oliver was very sharing with his cold and I woke up with a sore throat this morning, so I will try and lay low, and pray for it to be slow at work.  Have a wonderful week!

  2. Wow! He's grown so much in the last year. Still suuuuper cute of course. And yes, I do agree that Santa doesn't look quite as cheery this year... perhaps a bit more on the creeper side, though. At least O looks good!
