On Dec. 5, our ward had a Christmas party that Santa came to. Ethan loved sitting on Santa's lap last year, so we thought he would be excited. The next few pictures tell a different story. He did not want anything to do with Santa. Eli began to feel the same way as he watched his older brother keep a death grib around his daddy's neck.
Ethan really even starts to cry and will not let go of Tim to even look at Santa.
He finally gets the courage to look at Santa.
But he will still not touch him at all.
We decide to let Eli have a try. Nope, he doesn't want anything to do with Santa either!
Finally, we go out into the hall and let the other kids have a chance. We tell Ethan he doesn't have to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas. He starts to think about it and realizes maybe it would be to his advantage to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas. So, we go back in and try again. He actually sits on Santa's lap and even gives him a hug. Eli also sits with Santa and they both realize that "Santa is really nice!"
Not the best picture in the world, but they really were happy to sit on Santa's lap in the end! Ethan asked Santa for a weed wacker so he can help Daddy in the yard, and Eli asked for a laptop for Christmas!!
