Tre meets Santa

I was going back and forth on the necessity of Tre meeting Santa. More leaning towards the fact that it really isn't necessary at this age since he doesn't really know who Santa is or really understand Christmas yet. BUT, the outlet mall near our house has a Santa and the other day when I was there I saw the "Santa House" and there was no line. So I thought hmmmm...no line, well it could be worth a shot.

So after Tre's nap we went to grab some food and then head over to the outlet mall to meet Santa. Now Tre isn't the type to get overly nervous around strangers but most often it is because either Jammer or I is holding him or there with him.

We go into "Santa's House" and Tre looks at Santa and isn't quite sure what to think. I talk to Santa while holding Tre. Then it is time for the picture, Santa tells me to back Tre up to him and sit him on his lap, so I do that. Tre immediately gets a sad face expression on, so the photographer tries to capture a shot before he melts down. Which happened pretty quickly, he was saying "No" and trying to squirm for me.

We reviewed the pictures that the photographer took and he was pretty upset in the pictures. So we decided to try a family picture with Santa and Tre didn't cry since we were holding him. So we ended up getting a family picture with Santa instead of just Tre.

After the fact, I kind of wished that I had gotten one of him alone to start the tradition, but oh well.

It was an experience.
