Avery's 1st Outing...meeting Santa!

We took Avery on her first outing on Tuesday. She went and met Santa Claus. Of course, she was great! She didn't care for the car seat so much, but once we started driving she was better. It was nice, there was no line to see Santa! She was asleep during it all, but it was nice to get out of the house for sure!

Kaden on the other hand, was a bit terrified to see Santa. He knows who he is, we have a couple stuffed Santas at home and he likes to play with them and say "Santa." When it came to the real thing, not so much!
So, we ended up with a family picture!
He still isn't convinced, but at least he isn't screaming and trying to get away!
Afterwards, he was fine. He went and checked out the puppies at the puppy store and got some chicken nuggets!We tried easing Kaden in to see Santa...we looked at him from far away and tried to get him to wave...then we peaked around the corned and watched other kids meet Santa, but it didn't help he wasn't for it. When I asked him if he wanted to go say hi and give Santa a hug, he said, "no, no, no, no!"
Of course, Kaden wouldn't cooperate for a picture, he runs from the camera these days, I have to try to trick him or be sneeky to get him to look at the camera.
Guess I was lucky to get Kaden in my picture!
