Sorry for the hiatus. I blame it on two issues: 1)Our camera had an unfortunate run in with some stored breast milk (and surprisingly the trouble shooting section of our camera owner's manual does not have a suggestion for having soaked your camera in breast milk). 2)We've got the bug. There has been much vomiting, etc. for days around here, and you don't want a blog post about that, trust me.
So, in order not to spread the bug to the kiddos in the church nursery, this morning I took the boys downtown to wander amongst the Christmassy goodness.
The only person we risked infecting was the jolly one. We went to see Santa. Now, some of you may know that I (Jessa) am not really a fan. I have a bit of a phobia of the man in red. But, somehow now that I have kiddos to help enjoy the season, it's not so scary. Eli was a touch hesitant about the interaction.
Amos took to Santa immediately. Eli kept his distance, but did tell him Merry Christmas.
As an aside, the Santa (and Mrs. Claus) at Larimer square are awesome. They are a beautiful and friendly pair, and they come every Saturday and Sunday in December and visit with children for free. There is no elaborate (and expensive) photography set-up, but families are invited to snap away with a personal camera.
Eli finally warmed up to Santa when he offered Eli a little reindeer present.
After seeing Santa, kids exit by way of a slide "Christmas Story" style. Thankfully there's no psycho elf to help kids make their exit.
I decided to try giving Amos a sitting sink bath in his little chair. Trouble was, the chair floats.
But he had fun.
Eli's still trying to figure out the nutcracker. It's highly entertaining. Merry Christmas!

Never a fan of Santa myself, but the pictures are wonderful!! I think maybe the reason I was so afraid of Santa was because of the cotton beards. This Santa is awesome though!!! Glad you're all feeling better, just in time for a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
