Santa baby

This year with Santa was way more successful than last year's attempt.  And by attempt, I do mean that I got a legitimately awesome picture... just a tearful one.  You have to have one of those, though, right?  :)

Since G is a full year older, he is able to comprehend things better and has been pointing out Santa since we saw "him" (a blow up version for your yard) pre-Thanksgiving at Wal-Mart.

I talked up Santa on the way to the mall and told G that he would just sit on his lap to take a picture, and then he would be done and get a lollipop.  Yep, I used candy as a bribe and I'm not ashamed!  By the way, Santa already had lollipops to give out, so it wasn't like I was bringing in my own stash.  ;)

Buzz made the photo opp this year, which actually describes G perfectly at this age.  He did so well and wasn't nervous at all.  I'm so proud of my big {little} boy!

And just for comparison's sake...
