This year we happened to run into Santa at the restaurant we were eating at. He actually sat down at our table and Colin continued eating and chatting away with him.


Sydney was even awake to chat with him.


After having such a great experience with Santa we figured that we didn’t want to spoil it by going to the mall to sit on Santa’s lap.


but then Anna needed a friend to help her sit with Santa and so we said we would go along not expecting to actually take a picture. (not the best outfit choice for Colin)  He still enjoyed sitting on Santa’s lap.  Colin has never been one to be afraid of people in costumes.
