Not too shabby!

The visit with Santa went much better than anticipated! Braxton was a little hesitant at first and it took a little coaxing to get him on Santa's lap. But the end result was great. We were able to get a couple of good shots as well as relay the "wish list" of candy canes, vegetables, white truck and yellow motorcycle. After our pictures, while we were deciding on which shots to go with Braxton loosened up a bit and tried to get with every other kid who had an appt and sit on Santa's lap AGAIN!! I really think it was the milk and cookies that did it for him:) All in all - a great visit with Santa.

Here comes Santa Claus..Here comes Santa Claus

We have our annual Santa picture scheduled this afternoon. In a way to prep Braxton and get him totally psyched we have been talking about it quite a bit. Here is how the conversation went yesterday afternoon on the way home from school:

Me: Hey Buddy, who are we going to go see tomorrow?
Braxton: Grandmomma
Me: No sweet pea, guess again.
Braxton: Santa Claus
Me: That's right and what are we going to do?
Braxton: sit in his lap and take a picture
Me: What are you going to tell him you want for Christmas?
Braxton: uuhhmm Candy Canes and Vegetables and a truck and motorcycle
Me: Really (I am thinking vegetables..sweet!)...you may need to be more specific about the truck and motorcycle
Braxton: A white truck and a yellow motorcycle
Me: anything else?
Braxton: he puts that chubby little finger to his cheek and says..hhmmm let me see..I can't member!

Where does he get this from??? Really - he makes me laugh everyday!
Wish us luck with Santa!

oh-yeah, we have also been using the Elf on a Shelf..wow..do they make an Easter Bunny, Cupid and something for the remaining holidays covering the rest of the year. I owe someone huge kudos!!
