"Jolly" Old Saint Nicholas?

He is jolly, right? Why is my child so scared of him? From a distance Dillon is all about Father Christmas. He's sure everything with a red and white Santa hat says, "ho-o, ho." Needless to say...our little meet and greet with Santa did not go over so well. We went to meet him in Gunnison, and I've gotta say...I love small towns. They just know how to make these kind of events: Santa's arrival in a fire truck, cookies to wait in line, a GIANT mail box for all letters to Santa, and a goody bag to go. Really, does it get any better?
We're really getting in to the Christmas spirit! I love it! Everything about it is so exciting, and it's great to have a child that loves all the lights and goodies too. This one's for all my siblings. Remember this old thing? It still works! And it's in great hands! For some reason Dillon doesn't like when it lights up, plays music, and moves. He just likes to sit and admire it. If only he played this gentle with everything...

Poor Dillon! ;) Cambrie was the same way last year. She's still hesitant of the jolly old elf, but a little candy cane for bribery helps. :)

And...HOORAY for Rudolph! I'm so glad Dillon loves him. Ah, the memories. :)

That is too funny! I think most children go through that "scared of Santa" stage. Can't wait to see pictures of the new baby!
