Meeting Santa

Yesterday Jason and I took Gavin to meet Santa for the first time.  I know we were more excited than he was especially since all he wanted to do was run around the mall.  We got to the mall and he was great.  Gavin was happy and ready to play, the only problem was... Santa was on a potty break or something so we waited for 25 minutes for Santa to return only to wait another 15 to see him.  When it was finally Gavin's turn to meet him we had been at the mall waiting 40 minutes... which I am sure to a sleepy baby seems like much longer.  It was finally our turn, and walked him over and tried to put him in Santa's lap. I tried but Gavin had other plans.  He started to get fussy so I gave him a candy cane. Nope.  I tried standing him on the ground near Santa. Nope.  He ran away.  So of course me being the fabulous mom that I am I left him there in Santa's lap screaming so they could take the picture.  Maybe next year will go better.
