I was out at our local mall running an errand and I passed the Santa station -- and he wasn't busy. I had visions of putting Colin on Santa's knee and having a great Christmas picture all in a matter of a minute.
Uhhhh; no!
He was so scared of Santa that he started crying and ran away. Apparently this is common for most young toddlers, so Santa graciously tried to offer a "high 5," and Mrs. Claus told us to come back often and maybe after a few times he would be ready.
Hmm. I think we'll try this again in about 12 months!
So this brings me to another dilemma -- his stocking. I've looked in stores and online and can't find anything I remotely like. OK. So I like the needlepoint stockings on the Neiman Marcus website, but they're a lil' pricey. So we came to the "non decison" last night of deciding that when he is older he can pick out one he likes. We'll just use a non descript one this year.

I've made over a dozen stockings for Kerri's family in the past couple of years .... all just the way she wanted them. Wish you were here to see some of the ones I've made, but not yet sold. Such fun I have. Perhaps you'd like to design one for next year, then send me the idea & fabric or materials so I could try to satisfy Colin's needs for such. Just a suggestion, but I really mean it.

By the way, I enjoy your blog very much.
I can totally relate to the Santa experience--at least from last year when Luke was just a little over 1. We haven't tried this year, but I'm hoping for the opposite of last year and thus lots of smiles! I'll keep you posted!
