Meeting Santa

We finally got around to taking Gabe to see Santa.  We went to Plaza Frontenac, they have a great Santa with real beard and all.  He was extremely patient.  He even left his chair to hide so a little boy wouldn't be scared and then snuck behind the chair for the actual picture.  He was great! 

Gabe was a champ waiting in line for 45 minutes and enjoyed seeing all the Christmas trees, lights, and wreaths at the mall.  He was told that he was so cute and he just smiled and flashed his dimples.  Then it was time for me to hand him off to Santa.  He was completely fine until I let go.  Then the whimpering and tears started to well up.  We managed one decent picture (not screaming) of him with the big guy. 
Sorry, pic of a pic
I honestly expected much louder cries.  I was completely happy with the outstretched arms and longing face.  After 5 really quick pictures, we had a great Elf too, Gabe was back in my arms and happy as a clam.
