Visiting Santa = FAIL!

Remember how much Gavin liked Santa last year? He did so well...the pictures turned out so cute!

Well, this year....it was another story. We took Gavin to Christmas on the Canal in Spencerport this past weekend. The event itself was not what we expected. It was really small, and pretty cold out. But, there was an indoor area with pictures of Santa that we were excited to try. We didn't even get Gavin out of Daddy's arms. He clung on to him so tight and cried. Looks like we won't be getting pictures of Gavin and "Ho Ho" this year!

If you look closely, you can even tell he's crying from behind before they even made it all the way up to Santa.

But he was all smiles once we got home and he was back with Elmo!

Santa Sighting!

Yay! My favorite time of the year :) I love when we get to put our Christmas decorations up, especially the tree. Jarrod and I set the tree up while Gavin was napping, and you should have seen his face when we brought him out of his room. He was so confused. He immediately grabbed the silver candy cane ornaments and started putting them on. Then, he'd grab anything around and put it on the tree, but it would just tumble down. Jarrod said it was like he was playing Plinko! :) I was so excited to put him in this outfit for our tree-decorating day. My grandma bought this for him while I was still pregnant. It's been in storage for a while, but when I switched out his clothes, I put this in his drawer, hoping it would fit for this Christmas. I had to roll up the sleeves and his pants are folded down a few times, but it fit! It was really special to decorate the tree with Gigi's Santa outfit for Gav. So far, he's done pretty well with the ornaments. He's broken a few of those silver candy canes, and there's a Shirley ornament at his eye level that he likes to bark at. But, he's done better than I thought. We'll see what happens once the presents get under it!
