Pictures with Santa!

This morning we had Pictures with Santa at the Children's Minister's house.  We were really looking forward to this to see how Luke reacted to Santa. We've been preparing him all month long, and this week we even watched the Santa at the mall for awhile just to get Luke used to him. 
 First look at Santa--intrigued yet apprehensive.
 We sat down and watched Santa for awhile and read a few Christmas books before we actually went up to Santa.
 And we let Luke play with the toy train around the Christmas tree.
 Luke and his friend, Cooke, checking out the train.  
And then we decided we would just go for it.
Luke watched his friends go up to Santa--and they all cried.
And Luke was no different.
 THE picture!
He screamed the second we tried to hand him over to Santa.  So we all just sat down with him.  Look at Lukie's red little face.  He was so upset!

But then he got to play with his friends and eat lots of lots of treats!
 Cooke, Ethan, and Luke
 The first of many treats that Luke grabbed (by himself) off the cookie table.  Everytime I turned around, he was grabbing something else off the table!  He would take one bite, then hand it to me, and then try to go get something else!
