Santa Phobia

We took the boys to the Festival of Trees yesterday afternoon and it was mostly a great time! Hunter was really excited about seeing all the Christmas trees and of course the trains. This kid still adores trains and not just Thomas but all trains. Well, we got there and he was glued to the trains. He did not even seem to care that there were Christmas trees everywhere! All he wanted to see were the trains. Evan on the other hand was thrilled to be amongst all the trees and lights. His smile was HUGE! He was happy anywhere we went. But, then again, Evan is always happy. Then we decided to get a picture taken with Santa. No line, cheap prices = perfect! Wrong! Hunter freaked out! A full freak out at that! Screaming, kicking, and gasping for air. Poor kid. So, we did not make him sit on Santa's lap. Instead Christian removed him completely while Evan and I stayed to get his picture. It turned out great! I will post one as soon as I get it scanned to the computer. In the meantime Hunter was still flipping out because I was not with him. Really sad. It is safe to say that Hunter has a Santa Phobia! Perhaps next year we will get a picture with both boys and Santa. And if not a mother can always hope for the following year or photo shop will start to be used!!!
