Okay, so I am VERY new to all of this, but I thought I'd give it a try...
This weekend was a lot of fun! We took our Christmas pictures Saturday morning (where Trent dressed up as Santa for some of them), then went out to see Santa at Bass Pro. On our way through the mall, we saw another Santa and Brayden started yelling "Hey Santa!" It was soooo cute! By the time we made it to Bass Pro, he was over the top excited. We had to wait about an hour (they let you reserve a spot), so we walked around and let him do some of the activities they had. He made reindeer antlers, colored a picture and wrote a letter to Santa. All the while, Asher just laid in the stroller either sleeping, looking around or laughing.
Finally, our time came to see Santa and Brayden ran up to him, gave him a hug and just started talking to him. Asher, on the other hand, kept looking at him like "Who are YOU?" We got some really cute pictures and then we were done.
Little did we know that we were going to see Santa three more times this weekend. On Sunday, we went to Wal-Mart to get a few more things done and they announced over the intercom that Santa was in the photo area, so we made our way back there. Brayden kept yelling (once again) "Hey Santa!" Then he kept saying, "It's my turn now!" He ran up, hugged him and told him all kinds of stories. Asher again, just wondered "who are you?"
The funniest of Santa stories though was at my Christmas lunch with my Maw-Maw's family. There was a man there that looked like Santa, but in regular clothes, but he had a hat on. It was one of my Maw-Maw's cousins' (I think?) boyfriend. At any rate, Brayden LITERALLY climbed over the table and was laying on the table telling him what he wanted for Christmas. Tonya caught it on camera. The guy agreed to dress up as Santa, so Brayden went from a dead sleep to jumping up wide eyed when I whispered to him that Santa was there. He reacted the same way yelling "Hey Santa" and Asher again...just looked in amazement wondering "who are you?"
Lastly, we went to a Christmas musical that night and they had Santa walk through the crowd at the beginning and Brayden yelled "Hey Santa" a few more times...
Needless to say, Brayden isn't afraid of Santa and Asher on the other hand...I guess we'll see how he reacts next year!
