Christmas Party with Santa

We took Beau to a Christmas party with Santa last week. Beau is not a big Santa fan. Santa brought gifts for all the kids at the party. He called each child's name, and they went to get their gift and sit on his lap. Beau told me that he wanted to stay in his high chair and be safe. Beau would not go get his gift alone and for sure would not sit on Santa's lap, but he did tell Santa thank you for the gift.

As the party was winding down, Santa came to talk to Beau. With a death grip on my arm, Beau told Santa that he wants an "airpane, helicaca (helicopter), and a truck." Santa asked about a tractor to which Beau replied, "That, too." Beau gave Santa a high five before he left. When we got home, Beau was very proud of himself. "Beau gave Santa high five!" was the first thing he said to me the next morning. So all in all, the party was a success, but Beau still doesn't want to Santa to come to his house!

Family Pic...Beau is saying "cheese." All our posed pictures look like this now that he has learned to say cheese.

That's too close, Santa!
