Our neighborhood has a great bar and grill that hosts a lot of our neighborhood activities. This morning we had our neighborhood Christmas brunch there with lots of food and even Santa came! James was not thrilled to see Santa and was about two minutes away from having a nervous breakdown when he saw that Madeleine was going to sit on Santa's lap.

Madeleine however had no problem with the big man at all - she tried to eat his beard.

Once we explained to James that if he said hi to Santa he would get a candy cane, he decided it was worth it.

James even gave Santa a high five in hopes that he would get two candy canes! He is all about the bargaining.

I think next year he might even sit on his lap! But then of course it will Madeleine's turn to be scared :)
