Since we first met Santa completely unprepared (read: not dressed in Christmas garb), we decided to brave the mall and try again in something a little more festive. We woke up early, left the house by 9:30, and made it there right when the line was forming.
Half an hour later and our little guy had had enough of the twinkling lights, loud music and bratty kids behind us. (Okay, I had had enough of the kids - N was oblivious to them.) With some effort, Ryan was finally able to rock him to sleep while we still had about an hour left in line.
The sweet boy was still completely passed out when we finally got to the front of the line! I'm glad he got some sort of a nap in but I felt terrible having to wake him up to meet the big guy.
He was pretty unsure of the whole situation when he first got placed in Santa's lap. After all, he had just woken up and it wasn't the best nap ever so he was still pretty sleepy!
But the photographers worked their magic and twirled distracting toys in front of N and we finally got a smile. He was such a cutie! (And, really, I think completely unaware of the bearded stranger holding him.)
