Danta! Danta!

With the holiday season fast approaching, Santa has been at the mall for a few weeks now. We go up to the mall a couple times a week to walk around and for Aiden to play in the play area. There is a huge South Pole display with lights and trees and reindeer, and the fat man himself in the middle. Every time we walk by, Aiden waves and yells, "Danta! Danta!". I decided today to beat the rush and get Aiden's picture taken with Santa. I put him in his cute little outfit and we strolled up the the entrance. Walking up, I reminded him that it was Santa and to say hi, and he waved, albeit a little bit hesitantly. When I put him on Santa's lap, he was not a happy camper. It wasn't long before the tears welled up and the "maaaa-maaaa's" began! We snapped a few pics, all of them with arms reaching towards the camera! Oh well, maybe next year. I think everyone needs that classic pic of crying on Santa's lap anyway!

and I'm missing all of this! You brought a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat. I'm so proud of both you and Jonny and the parents you've become. And you're right....there is much more to come.
