Visit to Santa

Who takes their kid to see Santa on Christmas Eve?  We do!  Strangely enough, hundreds of other parents in Atlanta do too unfortunately... you'd think bigger kids might question the logistics of Santa making his rounds on Christmas Eve and still stopping at the mall but oh well.  We considered taking Charlie back in Richmond weeks ago but figured that Santa's lap would be a breeding ground for germs so it wasn't a good idea.  After getting more into the Christmas spirit though we decided that it was a rite of passage that he should do even if this year he had no clue what was going on.  So we headed over to North Point mall on the 23rd only to find that Santa neded to take a one hour break just as it was our turn.  Knowing better how it worked, we then planned better so that we could see him today.  After an hour or so in line, we finally got to see the big guy.  He was a very "good" Santa, very authenic and sweet.  Charlie didn't crack a smile for him but he made my favorite "what is going on" face so I think it is sweet and appropriate for his first time :)
